There has been talk over the past couple of weeks about WWE potentially bringing in ROH World Champion and ROH TV Champion Jay Lethal, someone that they view as a high-priority signing, however Lethal is said to be very happy with his standing in Ring of Honor and how he is booked and is making far better money as the top talent for Ring of Honor than he would if he joined WWE NXT.

Meanwhile, as mentioned previously on the site, WWE are said to be closing in on signing or have signed Kanna, Nikki Storm, Athena Reese, Biff Busick and Rich Swann and have an interest in signing Bandido Jr as a referee, while there is also interest in signing Drew Gulak and Chuck Taylor.

As of writing, it is unknown as to whether the company have signed Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa to deals, as they will be appearing in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament and were noted by WWE NXT General Manager William Regal to be the hottest free agents around.
