He is not officially signed by WWE as only has a few notable matches. Bensci54 (talk) 17:36, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't follow WWE, but looking at the online reports he seems to have been appearing fairly consistently for several months now. 8 events, 5 televised, loser in all matches... but I've heard losing in pro wrestling usually requires more talent than winning! He might be around for a while if he keeps up that record. His most recent match was against Brian Kendrick, who is kind of a big deal. WWE report says "Although Kendrick was victorious, Maluta proved he is a force to be reckoned with in the Cruiserweight division." Does that mean they are keeping Maluta in the rotation? Jack N.

He also recently appeared in the Cruiserweight Classic, which is a fairly notable event that occurred (in terms of professional wrestling). I'm not sure about the status of a contract or not, but he has been regularly appearing at house/live events and on television fairly regularly compared to their signed talent. I'd say that's enough.

Keep. He's participating in the biggest pro wrestling organization in the world. He has also held multiple titles in WXW. Looking at other pro wrestler articles, it seems consensus that someone with his record is considered notable in that field. Jack N. Stock (talk) 15:50, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The term "not officially signed" is unsourced and most likely misleading. I have no doubt that Maluta is under contract ("signed") to appear on WWE events. Jack N. Stock (talk) 19:34, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
