New WWE Signing Confirmed
This free agent name appears to be on their way to WWE.
Brian Pillman Jr. is on his way to WWE, reports Bodyslam.net's Cassidy Haynes.
Pillman Jr. is expected to be moving to Orlando, Florida by the end of next month, and then commence training as a full-time Performance Center wrestler. It is understood that his WWE deal is either in the process of being finalised or is already sealed.
This news comes less than a fortnight after it was confirmed that Brian had left AEW following his contract's expiration. The 29-year-old had been signed to a full-time deal with Tony Khan's promotion since July 2021, finding a regular role in the Varsity Blonds, though his appearances diminished towards the end.
A recent virtual signing for Captain's Corner saw Pillman Jr. state that he had a "huge opportunity" on the horizon:-
"It's kind of in the works right now, but I've got a huge moment, a huge opportunity coming up in my career to continue making memories, continue coming up with new gear ideas and sharing my ideas of pro wrestling with you all."
The son of the legendary Brian Pillman has been a pro wrestler since debuting on the independent circuit in 2017.
