#4 Reason why WWE isn't pushing Mike Kanellis revealed

WWE isn't showing Kanellis the power of love

Sportskeeda's exclusive contacts revealed the reason why WWE isn't high on Mike Kanellis, in the SmackDown ranks:

Mike signed two months before he came in and it looks like he just sat on his couch. The company don't get it. He's one of the guys who said it's his dream to be here and he doesn't even get in shape for it.

Looks like Kanellis will have to hit the gym to ascend the ranks in WWE. In other news, he went to Twitter and opened up about his struggles with prescription drugs.

Not all is bleak for the WWE superstar, and we hope his message inspires thousands out of sheer darkness.
