WWE Signs Indy StarAfter speaking with WWE sources, WZ can confirm Kevin Steen has signed a deal with WWE.

The former Ring of Honor World Champion has been rumored to have been on WWE's radar for quite sometime. We had previously reported that Steen was part of a try-out camp for WWE, but nothing more was known regarding the probability of him being signed.

He has now signed, and is expected to finish up his independent bookings and obligations. An exact time is unknown as to when he will report to the NXT Performance Center, but Steen is still advertised for independent shows through the month of June.
