Footballers, basketballers, soccer players and even WWE stars are among the highest-paid athletes in the sports industry. With a handsome payday, some opt to acquire some luxurious whips and are not shy of displaying their luxurious lifestyles to the world to see.
WWE stars love their cars. The likes of The Rock, John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and The Miz are among top wrestlers that own some of the sickest and sleekest rides around. Some of these cars are customized specifically for these athletes. From Cena's orange Plymouth to Bill Goldberg's Shelby Cobra, here are the 10 sickest cars owned by WWE superstars.
10 Jeep Wrangler - The Miz
The Miz started his journey in the WWE Tough Enough competition in 2004. He was eventually signed by WWE and was put as host of the WWE’s “Divas” reality show. Ever since then, he has been with the company. In 2017, The Miz, who is also a hypercar enthusiast, was spotted with a badass modified Jeep Wrangler.
The Miz’s Jeep produces some 285 horsepower thanks to a 3.6-liter V6 engine under the hood. The retro design kinda reminds us of the World War II-Era military vehicles. However, Miz's Wrangler is more sophisticated and comfy.
9 Plymouth Superbird Roadrunner - John Cena
John Cena is regarded as a legend in the WWE universe. Although still signed to WWE, he has successfully branched out from the ring into the movie industry. Cena is a lover of nice cars and an avid collector of the same.
He boasts a collection of cars that includes the Plymouth Superbird Roadrunner. It is worth a whopping $190,000 today. Other cars in John Cena’s garage include a Ford Mustang and a custom Corvette ZR1, just to mention a few.
8 Dodge Charger Hellcat - Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan is a renowned name in the WWE industry. His wrestling career spanned from 1979 to the early 90s. He has won numerous awards including the 1983 Strongest Wrestler award from Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This last December, Hulk Hogan added to his garage the new Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye as a treat for Christmas.
Powered by a supercharged 6.2 liter Hemi Hellcat V8 engine, Hogan's Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye is able to crank out some pretty sweet 797 ponies and 707 lb-ft of torque. The cost for this ride is around $80,000, just a drop in Hogan's bank account.
7 Pagani Huayra - The Rock
The Rock's love for cars is well known. He has a seriously impressive garage that houses a Ford F-150 Raptor, a 2017 Ford GT, and a Ferrari LaFerrari among others. But out of his extensive collection of automobiles, the Pagani Huayra that he drove to an HBO movie premiere back in 2016 is probably the most expensive.
The Pagani Huayra is a work of art. Its active aerodynamics is a huge talking point. It is powered by a potent 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 engine that produces a massive 730 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. It flies from rest to 60 miles per hour in only 3.2 seconds and has a top speed of 230 mph. Want one? Prices start around $2-3 million.
6 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS - The Rock
Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock has a net worth estimated value of $320 million. With such wealth, this legendary wrestler can purchase any whip he feels like, including sick classic cars such as the 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS. The Rock used his modified 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS in the movie “Faster” which was released 2010.
The Chevrolet Chevelle SS will need 6.1 seconds to beat the 60 mph mark. The 1971 Chevy Chevelle SS is old but gold, and we can’t fault Dwayne Johnson for choosing one.
5 Lamborghini Huracán - Triple H
Paul Michael Levesque, better known by the ring name Triple H, is an American WWE superstar. He is also married to the daughter of Vince McMahon, the owner of WWE. That notwithstanding, Triple H has a thing for really fast cars and his garage includes the Huracán.
This 2-seater supercar is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.2 Liter V10 engine that can produce up to 602 brake horsepower as well as 413 pound-feet of torque. The car will accelerate from rest to 60 miles per hour in just 3.2 seconds. It is an expensive ride and a trophy to those that have it in their garage.
4 1965 Shelby Cobra - Bill Goldberg
Bill Goldberg, popularly known as Goldberg in the ring, started wrestling in the 90s. Before wrestling, Goldberg played football for the Los Angeles Rams as a defensive tackle. He owns a classic 1965 Shelby Cobra sports car.
The 1965 Shelby Cobra was powered by a 7.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine good for 510 horsepower as well as 480 pound-feet of torque at 3,700 rpm. Getting an original Shelby Cobra can cost a fortune today since its production year ended long ago. Goldberg's also a stickler for classic cars and his garage also includes a 1959 Chevy Biscayne, 1966 Jaguar XK-E Series 1 Convertible, 1969 Dodge Charger, and 1967 Shelby GT500
3 McLaren 720S - Stone Cold Steve Austin

Palumbo was always in love with restoring cars and building motorbikes even during his time on WWE. So he set about restoring his dad's 65 Corvette Stingray as shown on his Discovery show Rusted Development. He then went on to surprise his dad with the restoration, but his dad declined to take its possession, instead, handing it over to Palumbo.
1 Bentley Continental GT - Vince McMahon
As the CEO of WWE, Vince McMahon has a net worth of a staggering $1.8 billion. With a net worth that high, McMahon is at liberty to purchase any luxury car he desires, and he keeps a pretty desirable car garage which includes a Lamborghini Aventador, Mercedes SL600, and a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
