WWE Deal in Place for Brian Pillman Jr. After AEW Exit Earlier This Month

Brian Pillman Jr. is reportedly WWE bound after his exit from All Elite Wrestling earlier this month.

Pillman, the son of the legendary 'Loose Cannon' debuted for AEW in 2019 but would not sign a contract with the promotion until 2021. Pillman would spend almost the entirety of his AEW tenure as part of the Varsity Blonds with Grif Garrison, and the team was at one time aligned with Julia Hart.

Shortly after his exit from AEW, Pillman was spotted at WWE's Performance Center in Orlando, sparking speculation of a future in WWE. Despite the belief that WWE would wait until after their deal with Endeavor is finalized, Pillman may soon be a WWE Superstar.

Bodyslam.net reports that WWE might not hold off on signing Pillman and that there is either a "deal in place" or there will be one very soon. Sources have also indicated that Pillman will be moving to Orlando by the end of August where he will report to NXT and begin training at the WWE Performance Center full-time.

Not long after his departure from AEW, Pillman spoke about a huge opportunity in his future which now appears to be a future in WWE. Pillman's father was part of WWE for years and worked with the promotion until his untimely passing the afternoon of WWF In Your House: Bad Blood in 1997.
