8 WWE Superstars Lucky To Not Be Released
3. David Otunga
Could somebody please explain why David Otunga is still on the WWE payroll? He hasn't performed in an in-ring capacity since 2013 and the small promotional work he does outside of the ring is surely not worth a position within the company.
Otunga's only contribution to WWE is continuing his 'holier than thou' gimmick on the Raw Pre-Show on the WWE Network, a relatively useless program that previews the night's events in a purely kayfabe capacity. Because apparently preview shows need a heel character now.
He may be a Harvard graduate, but Otunga does not possess the natural charisma to flourish in a journalistic capacity on WWE programming. He is simply not skilled enough outside of the ring to be worth holding onto.
You could put just about any current injured wrestler on the Raw Pre-Show and they could provide much more than David Otunga does. All things considered, it's surely only a matter of time before he is released.
