10 Huge Signings WWE Must Make In 2021
Is the talent hoarding era of WWE really over?
It goes without saying, really, that WWE's talent pool is the deepest in all of pro wrestling.
Across Raw, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK, 205 Live, and the Performance Center recruits, the company will snap up just about anyone these days. They can be the greatest wrestler of this generation or the absolute worst to ever step foot between the ropes, but chances are Vince and co. will find a place for them to the best of their ability just to avoid them going to the competition.
Despite this, there is still a vast array of free agents available in the industry that have either had their opportunity before to mixed success, or just simply haven't had the chance to step foot in the place.
For this list, we're looking at anyone who is a free agent or, at the very least, will become a free agent at some point in 2021. Taking into account existing wrestler contracts is necessary - Vince literally can't go after anyone who's still signed to AEW, NWA, MLW, Impact, New Japan, or anywhere else.
With 2020 marking their most profitable year to date, expect WWE to be dishing out the contracts over the next twelve months...
10. Zicky Dice
Zicky Dice officially became a free agent on 1 January, and although he's currently eyeing up a lucrative AEW contract per an interview with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, 'The Outlandish One' could fit in perfectly as a wacky character on WWE's weekly programming.
Having become a standout performer of the NWA over the past couple of years, including a run as their Television Champion after usurping AEW's Ricky Starks, Dice pounced at the opportunity to be let go from the promotion when talent were given the option in 2020. While his release request was initially refused, Dice was eventually granted his free agency, and is now on the hunt for his next venture.
Sure, he could easily fit into the All Elite talent pool as Starks did too, but there's money to be made from a Zicky Dice-esque character in WWE.
He has the charisma needed to thrive on-air, is a solid hand between the ropes, and has the look of a wrestler that would have eyes turning in his direction. Dice may not be the bulkiest guy to ever lace a pair of boots, but the blonde hair, abundance of tattoos, and fashionable ring attire come together to create the perfect look for a modern wrestler.
If WWE are wise, they won't let Zicky stay a free agent much longer.
