Kings of Wrestling signing with WWE

Although they are being advertised for the Ring of Honor TV tapings for
Sinclair next month on 8/13 in Chicago, Chris Hero and Claudio
Castagnoli are in the midst of a pre-signing procedure with WWE.
According to a source, they are getting a full physical and having their
backgrounds checked. As of now, it would appear they are WWE bound as
long as things go as planned.

As reported earlier, Hero and
Castagnoli are among a group of people including Colt Cabana that have
yet to sign new deals with ROH in preparation for the TV debut on
Sinclair.

We noted earlier this afternoon here on the website
that Colt Cabana has told at least one promotion he works with on a
regular basis that he won't be taking any more bookings with them after
next month. He was also recently involved in an injury angle with NWA
Hollywood recently as well.

This has led to some possible WWE
speculation with CM Punk dropping Cabana's name in recent weeks on
television leading into Sunday's Money in the Bank PPV (an event Cabana
has stated publicly he plans to attend, although he resides in Chicago).
As noted, CM Punk has been pushing WWE management to sign his good
friend Colt Cabana. That's one of the "stipulations" he wants in his new
WWE contract.
