WWE Negotiating with Former Tag Team Champion

According to PWInsider.com, former Tag Team Champion and former Performance Center coach Nick “Eugene” Dinsmore and WWE have been discussing the possibility that he be brought back to WWE in some capacity.

As of this writing, it’s unclear whether or not these talks have been about a return for Eugene as a main roster WWE talent, NXT talent or as returning as a coach again at the WWE Performance Center.

It’s entirely plausible for Nick Dinsmore to be brought back in a role very similar to the one James Storm recently signed with WWE. Dinsmore previously coached at the Performance Center for about a year but was released back in October 2014.

On an episode of WrestleZone Radio, Dinsmore revealed he is working on opening his own school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Nick Dinsmore discussed his time in NXT as a coach and its influence on him to opening his the school:

“I wanted to bring a professional wrestling training center and professional wrestling live events to the Midwest,” said Dinsmore. “There’s not a whole lot of professional wrestling out here and there’s not a whole lot of good independent professional wrestling out here. What I want to do is provide a training center for athletes that one day want to get that try out with the WWE. I’m going to train my athletes the way that the WWE wants their athletes trained. I was most recently a coach at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. I feel like I have a good grip on the way WWE wants their Superstars made. If the people want to become a WWE Superstar, Midwest All Pro and “Eugene” Nick Dinsmore are the only place to be.”

In regards to Dinsmore’s release from WWE in 2014, there was speculation that he ended up on someone’s bad side. Beyond that, Dinsmore had a reputation for being an excellent coach and was well liked by those at the Performance Center. Dinsmore had the following to say to AngryMarks.com about his release in 204:

“I’ve been with NXT for the past year and its been a phenomenal experience. I’ve grown as a coach, as a performer, as a business man, it was a great experience. I just wasn’t the right fit for this time, and I understand that but ‘never say never’ brother because I’ve been back to WWE three times so you never know that’s gonna happen in the future.”
