#2 All three men are directionless

It has been said that the worst thing that could happen to a WWE superstar is to find out that the creative writers have no plans for them. While it is difficult for the writers to plan months ahead and write storylines for all the superstars on a show that runs every single week with no off-season and the tyrannical and arguably senile Vince McMahon changing plans daily, it is still the job they are paid to do.
While writers can be forgiven for the herculean task they have to carry out, they simply can not forget about the superstars that aren't in McMahon's top 10 priority list. Mahal was pushed to the moon upon being moved to SmackDown, going from jobber to WWE Champion overnight. The booking of Mahal had WWE fans up in arms over an untalented allegedly raided up jobber being shoved down their throats harder than Roman Reigns (who is actually living up to expectations). After reigning as WWE Champion for 170 days, the man that was supposed to draw in Indian viewers was jobbed out to Triple H in WWE's tour of India. Why?
After losing the WWE Championship Mahal was entered in the US Championship tournament, and if he loses it is hard to see where he goes from here. McIntyre, as previously mentioned, is injured. Slater is being squashed week in and week out on Raw. The only one of these three men with any upside right now is McIntyre as he could go after the NXT Championship when he returns, or he could be called up.
