WWE Signs ROH Star Nigel McGuiness

About a week or so ago, it was reported that Ring of Honor wrestler, Bryan Danielson, would be heading to World Wrestling Entertainment. Now in recent news reports, it appears that another ROH star, British heel Nigel McGuiness, will also make his way over to WWE. The 33 year old wrestler hails from London, England and is 6'1" 220 pounds.

McGuiness has the record for longest reign as ROH Pure Champion at 350 days. He also held ROH's World Championship title as well, for 545 days total. He's also been injurred due to a diving move by another wrestler at a ROH PPV several years ago. Nigel received a concussion, and a broken nose as well as 14 stitches from the incident.

According to various reports, McGuiness is going to keep wrestling with Ring of Honor through the end of this month. He's agreed to a WWE contract in principal, so it's not quite official as of yet. It's unknown where he'll go in terms of TV shows with WWE, but he just might become another top heel in the tradition of William Regal.
