WWE Signs ROH Star Bryan Danielson


World Wrestling Entertainment has reportedly signed former Ring of Honor Champion Bryan Danielson, aka "American Dragon". Danielson's wreslted in the US, Europe and Japan for several independent wrestling programs.

Ring of Honor released the following statement (from The Sun UK):

"Bryan Danielson has agreed in principle to a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment.

"Bryan has been an exemplary talent and a wonderful member of the Ring of Honor locker room and family since the inception of the company.

"We couldn't be happier for Bryan and all of his successes, many of which Ring of Honor has been proud to witness first hand.

"We congratulate Bryan on the beginning of this next journey in his brilliant career, and wish him all the best as he progresses."

Danielson's been in WWE briefly before. He wrestled on the older Velocity and Heat shows WWE used to have on Saturday and Sunday nights, as a developmental talent. Danielson was a guest of William Regal at the Hall of Fame ceremony this year, and Regal has also helped train the young star.

Two Ring of Honor stars that made the jump to WWE previously are Scotty Goldman and CM Punk. As we all know, Punk has experienced the greater success of the two, as he is now a multiple-time World Heavyweight Champion for WWE.
