They are paid twice a month, in the most middle date and the last business day of the month.

Below is the World Wrestling Entertainment talent roster payroll that was taken from October of 2004 until February of 2006. The shown dollar amount beside each wrestler is the grand total that they earned from World Wrestling Entertainment in a one year period (downside guarantees, bonuses, and merchandise shares). Some wrestler's were given special privileges and bonuses in their contracts which can also be seen beside their total pay. All wrestler's contracts begin and end at different months of the year, there for each shown amount is what that particular wrestler earned in a 365 day time period between October 2004 and February 2006 (or however long they have been with the company). All dollar amounts were rounded up/down (Example: $244,766 would be $245,000)

WWE wrestlers get paid like any other professional in the world, twice a month.

however, every other company on the planet pays the wrestler/performer per show they are a part of.

If EWR has any truth to it, written contracts get paid monthly. Open contracts get paid per appearance/match. I'd assume they get paid per month, unless it's someone like Hulk Hogan who comes in once or twice a year. People like that get paid per appearance

It depends on what company they work for. Different companies pay wrestlers different amounts. This goes for the big time companies Including WWE and TNA. Also, the independent shows pay different amounts depending on what indy show it is and what wrestlers are working the show.
