10 Most Overpaid WWE Stars Of 2017

10. The Ascension

Konnor and Viktor must be laughing at this point, provided they don't have any aspirations of actually making it as stars. It's a strange path they've travelled; buried instantly upon their main roster promotion, they have settled into a weird groove as regular guest stars on a sketch comedy programme with just the one sketch.

They barely appear on SmackDown, which would necessitate wrestling different matches, even against the same opponents. Toiling exclusively on the house show circuit, aside from the odd TV multi-man in which they are passengers, the Ascension mustn't have to do much. The house show circuit being what it is, talents wrestle the exact same match for as long as they are programmed with the same opponent - and this is often the case for months on end. The exact same match is wrestled to avoid mental fatigue - and physical fatigue is avoided via phoned-in performances with an emphasis on comedic stalling and theatrics.

Like the vast majority of talents, we know for a near-enough fact that Konnor and Viktor command a six-figure salary, at least - with one source claiming the figure reaches $300,000 each.

Welcome to the wasteland, indeed.
