7. Sheamus – $1,000,000
Sheamus began his wrestling career on the European circuit. He became a two-time International Heavyweight Champion during his time with Irish Whip Wrestling (IWW). Sheamus became part of the main WWE roster in 2009 where he eventually became a three-time champion, twice holding the WWE Championship and once holding the World Heavyweight Championship. Sheamus has also won the 2010 King of the Ring tournament and the 2012 Royal Rumble.
In 2015, Sheamus was successful at the Money in the Bank ladder match and earned a WWE World Heavyweight Championship contract. Sheamus would later defeat Orson at SummerSlam, having lost to him at Battleground. Sheamus’ return to the ring in 2015 cemented his place in this countdown, despite his braided beard.
