An interesting name was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, an indication the company has an interest in signing this person.
Brian Pillman Jr. was recently removed from the AEW roster on the company website before it was reported this week that his contract with All Elite Wrestling had expired.
Three years ago, Pillman signed with AEW, where he occasionally wrestled on Dynamite, mostly being booked on Dark and Dark: Elevation. His biggest match on TV was against now-World Heavyweight Champion MJF in 2021.
He had been paired with Griff Garrison. He had expressed his frustration in the past about the way they were used and wasn’t happy about Julia Hart being taken out of the Varsity Blonds group for The House of Black.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Pillman was training at the Performance Center on Thursday.
No other details were given, but with the company having him at the training facility, they were at least giving him a look.
