– According to sources, Bobby Roode reportedly signed a deal with WWE/NXT at the last TV tapings. Roode was announced as working the June NXT UK tour by the official WWE UK Twitter account this morning, but it has been deleted.
– Eric Young recently spoke with NiagaraThisWeek.com about his NXT appearance and status with the company, here are the highlights…
On His Recent NXT Appearance: “It was in the works. I was supposed to go and talk with Hunter (WWE executive Paul Levesque). They reached out to me and there was an opportunity,” said Young. “Hunter and I hit it off right away, joking like we had known each other for 10 years. About half way through the day he called me aside to see if I’d be interested in doing a promo with the NXT champion Samoa Joe to start the show. I went and grabbed my stuff out of my rental and we got to business. The crowd reaction was insane. I figured it would be decent, but it was insane.”
Has He Signed a Contract?: “We are working on contract stuff now, but there isn’t a final pen to paper yet.”
