WWE interested in Eddie Edwards when TNA deal is up

[héad.casé]

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that former World Heavyweight Champion Eddie Edwards may be joining EC3 and Lashley as his contract expires in February 2018.

No word yet on Eddie's future plans but the belief right now is that WWE and ROH do have interest in signing him. WWE's interest is for the NXT brand, according to The Observer.

Was it him and Roderick Strong that were The Dojo Bros tag team? Do that with them.

My eyes were telling me the headline said "Bobby Lashley".

Come home Bobby. It's time.

It does, because TNA has regressed so much by that point I don’t think you even call that belt a world championship anymore.

If I'm not mistake, the Dojo Bros were Strong, Edwards and Adam Cole. Maybe that's why Cole tried to recruit Strong.

Maybe they mean former ROH and/or GHC World Heavyweight Champion.

Yeah, because he's still the GHC Heavyweight champion.

According to Wikipedia anyway.

The one silver lining to this is that seemingly even WWE knows that Davey Richards was a f***wit who cost both of them their shots in the past, and that Eddie by himself and without some idiot dragging him away may not be a terrible investment.

Yeah, and who knows what WWE can get out of him. Between the TNA vortex and Davey Richards' Black Hole of Intelligence, who knows what Eddie has in the tank.

I’d be cool with Dojo Bros.

I felt bad for Eddie with that.

Davey totally screwed Eddie over by being Davey.

Especially since from all reports Davey didn't want to go to the WWE and Eddie had to beg him to do it.

To think in the past WWE was probably looking for getting the next Macho Man or the next Rock.

Now their goal is pursuing the latest vanilla workrate indy darling. Who in that company wants this?

Well, he is also the current GHC World Champion and a former ROH World Champion as well

You know damn well WWE isn't going to let Lashley do any MMA stuff. He's nowhere near Brock-level to have that kind of pull.

With Impact, he only has to wrestle one week for several months. He's then free to do any kind of MMA training and fights he wants.

Not everybody signed to NXT are going to be the next Rock or Savage. If there's a card in any promotion, it needs main eventers but it also needs a mid card and openers.
