WWE

An update has emerged on the WWE status of a former AEW star after he was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center.

Brian Pillman Jr’s AEW contract expired earlier this month, with him being spotted at the WWE Performance Center back on July 13.

After Pillman’s AEW departure, WWE were said to have ‘immediate interest’ in bringing him in, with his meeting at the Performance Center said to have been a ‘get to know you’ type of meeting.

Following the meeting, Pillman since teased a potential ‘huge opportunity’ in his career during a virtual signing.

He said:

“It’s a tough business and it’s a long road to the top if you want to rock n roll. Being here today and getting to reminisce about some of the past moments of my career has really cheered me up and put me in a position to where I’m excited for the future. There is a lot to come, I can’t speak on it right now, it’s kind of in the works. I have a huge moment, a huge opportunity coming up in my career to continue making memories, to continue coming up with new gear ideas and sharing my version of pro wrestling with you all. Thank you for supporting me.” 

In an update on the situation per Bodyslam’s Cassidy Haynes, sources have said that a deal between the two is in place, or is in the process of being finalized before it can be officially signed.

Sources also indicated that Pillman will be moving to Orlando, Florida by the end of August, where he will report to NXT to begin training at the Performance Center full-time.
