Top independent wrestling star Joey Ryan was recently contacted by the WWE regarding his interest in joining the company after WWE officials found out that he was released from his Lucha Underground contract, making him a free agent, according to a report from Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer.
The report notes that no formal offer was made, but that the contact was made to see if Ryan was willing to relocate from Los Angeles to Orlando to work with the WWE NXT brand and transition into a coaching role down the line.
It is unknown as to what would happen with Ryan’s Bar Wrestling promotion, as well as his Pro Wrestling Tees store should he sign a WWE contract.
