What is honestly quite puzzling about what WWE does with certain talent is when they make them sit at home and pay them accordingly without utilizing them. That was something that we mentioned at the start, but it's not always the case.

Sure, many superstars spend long periods being underutilized, but with WWE, things are cyclical and talent gets utilized at some point or the other. Then, there's the biggest factor in all of this - the money they invest into a superstar.

When WWE signs a superstar, they have to invest money and time in them starting from the developmental aspect of the Performance Center. When they spend so much on each superstar that's training, the objective is that they'll eventually be main roster talent and will be considered as a return on investment, whether it's through merchandise sales, ticket sales or more.

From that perspective, you can't blame WWE. Why would they spend so much money on talent only to freely let them go at their will?
