10 Huge Signings WWE Must Make In 2022
6. Shane Taylor
WWE isn't a promotion for stables to thrive. This isn't the Attitude Era anymore; they don't care about Gang Warz with a Z.
That's precisely why this entry is Shane Taylor only, rather than Taylor with his Shane Taylor Promotions comrades, Moses and Kaun. The former Soldiers Of Savagery will be a formidable tandem elsewhere, perhaps in AEW where Kaun has already got his foot in.
Shane Taylor rose to prominence through his ROH career, going from being just another generic big guy to being a former World Television and World Six-Man Tag Team Champion. He was one of the saving graces for Ring Of Honor during their dreary, AEW exodus era, amassing an abundance of ***+ matches, as per the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer.
You need only reflect upon the post-Final Battle 2021 Twitter discourse to comprehend how important Shane Taylor will soon be, if not already. His Fight Without Honor vs. Kenny King was arguably the card's best offering, standing out as a belligerent hoss fight. Impressive, given that King is anything but a hoss.
Like the majority of ROH's roster, Taylor officially became a free agent as of 1 January. WWE - and AEW, IMPACT, and every other credible company - would be foolish to avoid signing The Baddest Of All Time.
