Update on Uhaa Nation Possibly Heading to NXT

It was reported back in October that World Wrestling Entertainment had a great deal of interest in signing top Independent star, Uhaa Nation.

He had a tryout with the company in September, impressing several officials in the process. They even went out of their way to see Nation perform at a PWG event.

At a Preston City Wrestling show in the UK over the weekend, Nation defeated Chris Masters to become their new champion.

Rumors had circulated prior to the event over Nation reaching a deal to join WWE in March of next year.

Usually when wrestlers agree to head to developmental, they drop whatever titles they currently hold.

The fact that Nation is now PCW Champion leads one to believe that those rumors are completely false.

Editor’s Note

I really do hope Nation does make his way to WWE one of these days. Extremely talented, versatile and built like a machine.
