Latest On Potential Of Luke Jacobs Heading To WWE

WWE recently held tryouts in Europe, with the company looking to take some steps to grab a hold of the international wrestling world, especially following their acquisition of Mexican promotion AAA. This also follows news of the long-rumoured ‘NXT Europe’ still being in WWE’s plans. It was noted at the time that Luke Jacobs had been one of the names who impressed at the tryouts, though there were conflicting reports over whether he would sign with WWE. 

Fightful Select have learned that, for the time being, PROGRESS Men’s World Champion Luke Jacobs would not be signed by WWE. The likes of Jacobs and Goldenboy Santos were said to have impressed in a big way, so they are expected to receive another chance in the future at signing with the promotion. 

The exact reasoning for WWE passing up on Jacobs right now isn’t clear, though with WWE bringing in the likes of Zozaya, Mike D Vecchio, and Aigle Blanc, along with a potential big money arrival in former AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May, WWE may simply not have enough space on the roster right now.
