Prince Devitt To Make His WWE Debut This Summer

After months of speculation and anticipation, it appears as though Prince Devitt is finally headed to World Wrestling Enetertainment, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He is expected the join the company at some point this summer, most likely in August. As we mentioned back in January, Devitt has been in talks to join WWE since last year. Devitt is a talented performer that is skilled in the ring and brings a lot of charisma as well. Clearly WWE is enamored with him if they have been recruiting him for this long. The Irish born 32 year old Devitt became one of the biggest stars in New Japan Pro Wrestling over the last eight years. His role in The Bullet Club stable was praised by many people within the wrestling industry and clearly WWE noticed him as well. He recently thanked New Japan Pro Wrestling on his Facebook accounts: "Thank you New Japan Pro-Wrestling for the most wonderful 8 years. You helped make me the man I am today. I will never ever forget you. I'm sure we will meet again. And to the fans for all your support, I am eternally humbled." For his part, Devitt hasn't announced anything officially yet although now that the word is out he's not being shy about where we will see him next. On his official Facebook page he posted the following photo and wrote: "Vote McMahon ... Vince McMahon."

While we are sure that Ronan McMahon appreciates the use of his photo as Devitt announced his career intentions, it's definitely something that wrestling fans are happy about. Since he's a veteran of about 14 years, he won't need too much training by WWE although it is expected that he will have to join NXT before he appears on the main roster. The reason he won't debut until August is because he has other bookings in Europe this summer.
