WWE has confirmed the two latest signings to join the company, independent wrestler Timothy Thatcher and former Impact star Killer Kross.
The confirmation from WWE on the signings were first reported Wednesday night by Pro Wrestling Sheet Editor-in-Chief Ryan Satin on WWE Backstage. News of Thatcher’s signing was first reported this morning by Casey Michael of Squared Circle Sirens.
Kross is arguably one of the hottest free agents in wrestling at the moment. As you’ll recall … Killer Kross was on an impressive run at Impact, but had a falling out with the company and sat on the sidelines for months while waiting for his release.
Thatcher has wrestled all over the world on the independent scene and is a former member of Ringkamp, now known as Imperium in NXT UK, with WALTER and Marcel Barthel.

WWE has announced that AJ Styles is currently out of action indefinitely with a shoulder injury.
WWE added that Styles is recovering way ahead of doctor’s projections. It was reported last week, via Wrestling Observer Radio, that the internal hope was that AJ would be back in the ring in 4-6 weeks. There’s no word yet on if that timetable is still an option.
WWE also noted that AJ suffered the injury in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match earlier this month, but they did not mention how he was injured by a Spear from WWE Hall of Famer Edge. While AJ suffered the injury while taking a Spear from Edge, he addressed the injury on his Mixer channel last week and said Edge “did nothing, absolutely 100% nothing wrong.” You can click here for a recap of AJ’s comments on the injury and his return from Mixer. He noted that he didn’t expect to be out for very long, and that he was feeling a lot better. He also said he bets he will be back before they think he’s ready. Before AJ’s Mixer comments, it had been reported that AJ and WWE officials are optimistic that he will be back in time for WrestleMania 36, but that was before today’s announcement was made.

Looks like Goldberg will be stepping into the ring again soon, as WWE is promoting an appearance from the Hall of Famer on WWE Friday Night SmackDown this week.
During RAW last night, a commercial aired teasing that Goldberg will announce “who’s next” on Friday Night SmackDown.
The 53-year-old last wrestled at SummerSlam in a squash match against Dolph Ziggler. Prior to that, he faced-off against Undertaker at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia.
With the next Super Showdown taking place this month, it would seem to be a safe bet to assume Goldberg will be appearing at the event.
The rumored match between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair for the NXT title at WrestleMania 36 seems to be happening, as seen last night on WWE RAW.
Charlotte was teased as choosing her WrestleMania opponent throughout the show. While announcing her decision, Flair was interrupted by Rhea Ripley.
Ripley reiterated how Flair has already beaten Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, but not her.
Rhea then challenged Flair to a match at WM36. Charlotte did not immediately accept, however, and instead walked to the back. When she got to the top of the ramp, Flair looked back at Rhea to “Woo!”
It was later announced on the show that Charlotte will appear Wednesday on NXT to answer Ripley’s challenge.
Angel Garza, who recently lost the NXT Cruiserweight Championship, made his debut on WWE RAW last night alongside Zelina Vega.
The segment began with Humberto Carrillo in the ring as his feud with Andrade was recapped. Commentary noted Andrade would be out indefinitely due to the events of last week on RAW, which was done to cover for his absence due to a suspension.
Zelina Vega then made her entrance accompanied by Garza and explained how he was not only one of the hottest latino prospects in WWE, but also Carrillo’s cousin.
After a back and forth promo, Angel attacked Humberto and it led to Rey Mysterio making the save. Mysterio and Garza then had a match which ended with Garza hitting a Hammerlock DDT on the exposed concrete, causing a DQ finish.
As you’ll recall, Garza lost the NXT Cruiserweight title to Jordan Devlin at Worlds Collide.
After months away from the ring, Ruby Riott is back! Unfortunately for Liv Morgan, the Riott Squad reunion was short-lived.
Last night on WWE RAW after Liv defeated Lana in a singles match. Ruby made her way to the ring afterward and an excited Morgan welcomed her friend into the ring. Before they could embrace, however, Liv’s former tag partner beat her down in the ring.
Ruby last wrestled in May of 2019 at a live event. That same month it was announced she was undergoing surgery to repair both of her shoulders.
The 29-year-old wrestler had reportedly been seen at the WWE Performance Center in recent months in possible preparation for a return to the ring.
