10 Wrestlers You Can't Believe WWE Haven't Signed (Yet)

7. Brian Cage

If someone showed Vincent Kennedy McMahon the Instagram account of one Brian Cage, they might need to perform a quick clean up job afterwards. His gym selfies show a superbly-crafted physique, the type that'd lead McMahon to talk about his 'next Hulk Hogan'. Cage has muscles coming out his ears, and that's something WWE have always traditionally loved.

The industry may have changed in that regard, but Vinnie Mac still loves him some big ol' boys.

The kicker here is that WWE had Cage under contract a decade or so ago. He was in FCW for a cup of coffee before being released in 2009, and has since had to reinvent himself in groups like PWG, Impact, AAA and Lucha Underground. As the current Impact Champion, Cage is on a roll and (at 35 years of age) in his physical prime.

It's a real wonder that WWE didn't come knocking when Cage began smashing it in LU around five years ago. He has the kind of body that screams money to the McMahon family, never really got the chance to show what he could before and would be ideal on the main roster today.
