The son of a late former WWE star has revealed that he has signed a posthumous legends contract for his father.

It was recently announced that former WWE World Tag Team Champions Demolition Ax and Smash had signed legends contracts with the company.

One thing that was not reported was whether or not Crush, who also had a run as part of Demolition, had signed a legends contract with WWE.

Crush passed away back in 2007, and his son has now confirmed that he has been signed to a legends contract.

Speaking on Power & Glory with Paul Roma, Mario Mancini and Emir, Crush’s son Royce Adams said:

“I started seeing rumors and stuff online and all that. ‘Oh, yeah, Demolition legends Axe and Smash are on a Legends Deals.’ I’m like, that’s pretty cool. Then sure enough, I get a call. I get a call, and this guy tells me, ‘Yeah, I’m with the WWE. We’re trying to reach out to the family, the owners of Crush’s estate.’ I’m like, okay, yeah, this is Royce, his son.

“I don’t even know how he managed to find me. He tells me that he looked at the obituary of Crush, found out he had kids, me included, and then he looked me up, and he told me he saw me on Facebook, and he was like, ‘Yeah, you were really easy to track down, actually.’

“So anyway, yeah, he reached out to me and my mom, and we agreed to sign the posthumous contract, I guess you can call it, and yeah, so that’s how my dad is now a part of the whole legends thing with the rest of Demolition.”
