WWE commentators John Bradshaw Layfield and Michael Cole revealed on their latest radio show that the company have signed former NFL Star Shawne “Lights Out” Merriman to a deal with the company.

Merriman worked some of the company’s panels during WrestleMania weekend and was at the Superstars for Kids party as well. WWE officials were very pleased with his work on the panels as he presented himself well with a vast knowledge of the product.
