10 Most Notorious WWE Urban Legends Involving Celebrities
6. David Otunga Only Has A WWE Job Because Of Jennifer Hudson
Story: Jennifer Hudson is an Academy Award winning actress and former star from American Idol that has been dating WWE Superstar David Otunga. Remember him? The rarely used Otunga was signed by WWE in 2008 and debuted on NXT in 2010. The couple has a five year old son together named David Jr. They've been engaged for a few years now. Since Otunga is barely used by WWE, there's a belief that he's only a WWE employee because of who his fiancée is. Why else can they justify paying a guy that's an average wrestler? If you're wondering, Otunga isn't out with an injury. He's just not used anymore although as of this writing he remains a WWE employee. Why People Believe It: He's not on television, yet he still works there. This seems to be a likely reason. Should We Believe It: It's one of those things where it's probably part of the reason, but not the whole reason. It's not like WWE brings Hudson to shows when he's in the ring. They don't even mention her. However, if her career blows up and Otunga is on her arm on the red carpet then in WWE's eyes that's a good thing.
