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.

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.
