A hot topic of conversation about WWE right now is the amount of talent that they have under contract. They seem to be consistently signing big names and bringing them under the WWE umbrella.
A new report suggests that WWE is going to get even more aggressive in signing talent.
This comes from Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here). He says that WWE is getting more aggressive with taking talent off the board. With the ‘All In’ show and Ring of Honor running Madison Square Garden, there is a feeling that competition is growing stronger.
Meltzer names a few talents who WWE is interested in signing. The first name mentioned is Shane Strickland, who Meltzer says WWE is currently taking a look at. Strickland is best known for his work for CZW and Lucha Underground (as Killshot).
Pentagon Jr. and Fenix are also mentioned as names that WWE has interest in. Meltzer says that they have both told promoters that the dates they have already booked in 2019 are now in question.
We will have to wait and see what happens but it looks like WWE is going to try and sign as much talent as they can.
Would you be down for Strickland, Pentagon Jr. and Fenix in WWE? Sound off in the comment section.
