Sean Radican of PWTorch is reporting that Keith Lee has signed with WWE and is expected to report to NXT after May. Some of the details include that Lee confirmed on twitter that he won’t be at the EVOLVE shows in Melrose, Mass in June:
Lee is signed for EVOLVE’s upcoming events in the Detroit area on May 19 and Chicago on May 20. On May 20, Lee will face Matt Riddle for the EVOLVE Championship in what is being booked as the final encounter between the two. It appears now that these will be Lee’s final dates with EVOLVE.
Lee got mixed reviews from WWE officials for his match against Kassius Ohno at Axxess during WrestleMania weekend. One source from WWE noted that right now Lee is a guy with a rep for doing moves and he’s going to have to adjust his style once he arrives in WWE.
Radican is also reporting that despite denials by WALTER, that WWE did offer a contract to WALTER. This was also reported by the Wrestling Observer back in March.
International signings are usually very complicated and the process for WWE to sign an international talent takes a long time to play out. According to multiple sources, WALTER has not signed the deal WWE offered him. PWTorch has confirmed that WALTER is now taking bookings through September leading most sources to believe that he is not going to sign with WWE at this time.
Martin Stone this past weekend announced at a Beyond Wrestling show that he has signed a full time contract with WWE.
