WWE Reportedly Eying Several Top ROH Talent, Including Jay Lethal

According to an exclusive report by Wrestlezone.com, World Wrestling Entertainment is very interested in acquiring the services of three of Ring of Honor’s top stars: Adam Cole, Moose and new ROH World Champion Jay Lethal.

Moose (Former NFL Offensive Tackle Quinn Ojinnaka) recently turned down an offer to join WWE as a contestant on the new season of “Tough Enough,” with no guarantee that he would wind up with a contract should he fail to win the reality show.

Cole missed the past several months recovering from a shoulder injury, returning at “War of the Worlds” on May 12 in a losing effort to A.J. Styles. He’s a former ROH World Champion and ROH Television Champion.

Lethal became the unified World Champion/Television Champion at “Best in the World” on June 19, defeating Jay Briscoe in the main event. He’s been Television Champion since April 14 of last year.

The report mentions how Lethal’s contract with the company is set to expire, with no future deal on the table.

Editor’s Note

It’s not going to happen, but having the trio of Moose, Lethal and Cole in NXT would be SUCH a huge coo for the brand. The IWC can only dream. ROH is one hell of a promotion, but it does have a reputation for being a developmental system in its own right for WWE.
