Top Indie Star Blake Christian Signs With WWE
Former GCW stalwart becomes latest independent talent snapped up by WWE.
Blake Christian is on his way to WWE.
This report comes by way of Fightful Select, who reported that 'The Gamechanger' had come to terms on a deal with the promotion. The news was then confirmed by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Christian had only just finished up his career in his now-former promotion of Game Changer Wrestling, losing a Title vs. Career Match on 30 January to defending Heavyweight Champion, Rickey Shane Page.
The rumour pool started swirling following Blake's departure from the critically-acclaimed indie promotion, with a move to WWE seemingly imminent to join fellow indie standout, Alex Zayne.
In recent months, Christian has also debuted for both New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling, competing in both the Super J Cup and the Super X Cup, respectively. He actually made it to the finals of the latter tournament before falling to Ace Austin, with followup Impact showings both on Tuesday's Impact Wrestling episode and the recent No Surrender special hinting at a full-time run in Impact.
Blake follows in the footsteps of Limitless Wrestling thriller Christian Casanova, and Brock Lesnar lookalike Parker Bordeaux, both of whom have reportedly signed with Vince McMahon's empire.
