5 current WWE Superstars who get paid for doing virtually nothing

Superstar
Vince doesn’t seem to care about these Superstars

Now look, before we start this, we know that there's not really any JTG characters lying around as dead weight anymore - but the contributions of these guys and girls really does not equate to much whatsoever.

Whilst they may contribute to the product in the most menial of ways, what we're trying to say here is that things would be no different if they weren't there at all.

It's a shame too, because all five of the competitors on this list are more than capable of making an impact on their respective brands - well, apart from one of course.

You'll also see the appearance of a former wrestler who has transitioned into a new role on this list, but trust us - it hasn't made much of a difference when it comes to their popularity among the WWE Universe.

Whether or not these Superstars will be with the company for much longer remains to be seen, but what we do know is that Vince McMahon likely wouldn't look twice if they were to walk away from WWE tomorrow.

With that being said, here are 5 current WWE Superstars who get paid for doing virtually nothing.


#1 Dana Brooke

Dana could be great

If you've seen the Breaking Ground documentary series, you'll know that Dana Brooke put in a lot of work to get onto the main roster. In fact, you could even say that she's one of the hardest workers in the whole of WWE - but in terms of her actual role on Monday Night Raw, she doesn't actually do a whole lot.

As Charlotte's bodyguard, she seems to have spent the last few months floundering and appearing much more sporadically than she did when she first debuted on the red brand.

We all know that she's a little green in the ring, but that doesn't mean that she should be kept out of it altogether. Honestly, Charlotte's position would probably be the same even if Dana wasn't there.

We stick with the females, moving over to the blue brand.

#2 Eva Marie

Could Eva make a return?

Eva Marie looked like she was on to a winner when she first debuted her new character following the brand split, however, her suspension kind of threw a spanner in the works.

Since then, she seems to have branched out into a number of different avenues in terms of launching her own business as well as doing a spot of modelling here and there. But since her suspension ended, what has she actually done to warrant being paid by the WWE?

Obviously, we don't know in an official capacity that she's still being paid by the company, but she's always been considered to be a pretty valuable asset to the WWE. Maybe, just maybe, they could have her return to her original character and actually benefit the product in some way.

Now on to an announcer who doesn't quite capture the hearts of the audience.

#3 David Otunga

Otunga hasn’t been relevant for years

David Otunga is not a very good commentator. That in itself may seem like a rather obvious statement, but we felt that it needed to be said.

We've put him on this list because whilst the words actually come out of his mouth, he may aswell have Vince McMahon's hand up his rear end because everything he says comes directly from the boss himself.

Otunga just isn't interesting in the slightest and it's unfortunate because there have been times where he's been a capable member of the roster.

Right now, however, he's just taking up somebody else's spot on a SmackDown Live commentary team that has two people too many. Otunga is stealing a living and something needs to change before things get even worse.

Onto one-half of a massively underutilised tag team.

#4 Simon Gotch

Gotch deserves more credit

Simon Gotch wanted to become a top level Superstar so badly that he reportedly took lessons in order to get over a speech impediment.

That's the kind of guy we're dealing with here, which makes it even more of a shame that he's not being featured alongside his partner on SmackDown Live. But what's the reason, you ask? We have no idea.

Gotch is often underrated in comparison to English, who is considered to be the brains behind the Vaudevillains operation.

However, in terms of look and in-ring ability, Gotch probably has the edge on English which is saying something. As a standalone character or still as part of this team, he could do wonders for the blue brand, but instead, he's sitting back and collecting his pennies on the sidelines.

Considering we've already referenced him, let's move onto the other half of this duo.

#5 Aiden English

English is a talented performer

Aiden English clearly either doesn't care anymore or is desperately trying to see how far he can push Vince McMahon.

That is the only reason we can think of as to why he's been allowed to grow that monstrous beard that doesn't even remotely suit his character. Does Vince just think that he's turned into Jack Gallagher and that Gotch has retired or something?

English is also suffering alongside Simon Gotch as a result of The Vaudevillains not being given a chance to shine.

It's surprising when you consider how weak the tag team division is on SD Live, as they could be great challengers for American Alpha in the next few months. Hell, they could even expand their 'empire' of sorts and transform the team into a larger stable.

Just do something of note, please.
