Triple H officially signs top free agent to WWE - Reports
WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has signed many notable names for the promotion since taking over. It appears that The Game has bolstered his roster once again as free agent Cody Corino has signed with the company.
It was originally reported by Bodyslam.net that Colby Corino's NWA contract was up in December 2022 and that he would become a free agent on January 1, 2023.
Bodyslam has now reported that WWE has signed the highly touted free agent. Cassidy Haynes further reported that he would be traveling to Orlando for a tryout with WWE. He has now confirmed that earlier this week, Corino had officially signed with the Stamford-based company.
The report noted other details, stating that the 26-year-old could start with NXT in March itself. His tryouts were individual and not as part of a class of wrestlers. His last match came on the independent circuit when he defeated Kevin Ku in a Deadlock Pro-Wrestling show at the Cabarrus Arena & Events Center in Concord, North Carolina.
