-- Late last year, Lance Anoa'i confirmed in a social media post that he had been granted his release from MLW and speculation immediately started that he was going to be signing with WWE and possibly joining in on WWE's long standing Bloodline storyline. However, over a year has passed since his release and not only has Lance not showed up on TV but his signing with WWE hasn't even been confirmed. Until now.
-- Earlier today, a photo emerged posted by MuscleManMalcolm on X that showed Lance Anoa'i in an NXT outfit with other talent at the WWE Performance Center. Fightfulselect.com then reported that WWE sources have confirmed that Lance has in fact signed with WWE and that it happened over the summer. However, his debut has been paused due to the fact that he's currently recovering from an injury. The report added that Lance is currently not imminently planned for any creative within NXT, Raw or Smackdown and isn't expected to be cleared for action for a while.
