We have the latest for you on two independent stars that have been rumored to be signing with WWE in the near future. One looks to be on his way over to WWE. The other looks like he won’t be making the jump anytime soon.
The name that looks to be signing with WWE is Keith Lee. PWTorch reports that Lee has signed with the company and is expected to head to NXT after he finishes up some independent dates.
It looks like Lee could be coming over as early as June. PWG recently announced “Keith Lee’s farewell event” on May 25th. Lee also confirmed that he will be missing an Evolve event in June. That has led to some speculation that he could be starting with WWE as early as next month. Take that with a grain of salt for now though.

Now, onto the rumored name who likely won’t be making the jump to WWE anytime soon. PWTorch reports that independent star Walter is now taking bookings through September and will likely not be heading to WWE anytime soon. Walter denied being offered a WWE contract when the rumors first circulated a few months ago. PWTorch says that sources have confirmed to them that he has in fact been offered a WWE deal but hasn’t signed it.
In a nutshell, it looks like Keith Lee will be making the jump soon and Walter will not. Your thoughts?
