10 Reasons Why Tough Enough Will Create A Main-Event WWE Star
6. There Are ZERO Tough Enough Winners Currently Employed By WWE
While Tough Enough runner ups like The Miz and runner-ups like Ryback are currently in WWE, the fact that season one winner Maven isn't entering his 14th year of employment with two WWE Championship runs and a Wrestlemania match with the Undertaker under his belt is problematic. As a publicly-traded company that's financially struggling and likely spending some pretty good coin on this new season of Tough Enough, the need for a high return on a significant investment is important. This likely means that we're not going to see a Maven redux, but instead see WWE truly find a talent that can put their best foot forward and end up as a significant money earner for the company. The time for yet another underwhelming Tough Enough winner on WWE's roster certainly isn't right now.
