WWE tying mediocre wrestlers to new long-term contracts

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Jinder Mahal has inked a new contract with WWE that will keep him with the company for the next five years. He joins Maria and Mike Kanellis as well as Mojo Rawley as talent who have recently signed multi-year contracts as WWE continues to work towards locking down many of their talent into long-term contracts.

People are attributing this to the rise of AEW and WWE wanting to keep some of their "stars" away from them. Although let's be honest here folks, why on earth would AEW be interested in Maria and Mike Kanellis or Jinder Mahal? Maybe Rawley, as he's only 32 and actually not too bad. But even him I couldn't see AEW going for as he's not better than what they have.

On the plus side though, it's nice for those guys to have a good long-term contract for doing very little wrestling wise. I wish I was paid significant amounts of money to not really do the thing I'm employed to do. That'd be the life.

He use to be a star... he is a jobber now though.

anyways, mike bennet is getting some kinda push on 205, they ran an angle where he snapped and quit and went through the crowd leaving maria behind all confused.

He's not though. If he was he'd be in the 24/7 division.

He was literally on SmackDown just gone lol. Confronted Balor backstage. Looks like they'll be feuding over the IC title.

Guess he is just that uninteresting...

His star has faded and he is just a regular midcard guy.. who seems to have eternal credit among the iwc for a match he had with AJ Styles in 2014. and again one fantastic debut match in nxt.

Nakamura is a mid-carder at best now... which is sad as he's better than most on the roster. So underutilised on the main roster that I forget he's there most of the time. Although I can say the same for a few of them really.

I was surprised to see Maria and Mike Kanellis re-sign. I thought they weren't happy there and they've shown nothing to make me see why WWE have offered them new contracts.

Nakamura is definitely a midcarder. I was simply arguing he's not a jobber lol. And he's a significantly bigger re-sign than Jinder or Mojo Rawley.

It's easy enough to mistake WWE midcarders as jobbers these days... that's why he's a midcarder at best.
