There was talk recently that independent wrestlers Biff Busick and Rich Swann were waiting to pass physicals before signing with WWE, however that does not appear to be the case.
Busick and Swann have already signed with WWE and are expected to begin with the company next month.
Four-to-six other talents are also expected to start soon, and names rumored include Tommaso Ciampa, Drew Gulak, Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano.
Additionally, WWE is looking to hire some Latino referees. Independent talent Bandido Jr. out of New Jersey is rumored to have signed with WWE, or will be signing with the promotion soon, and will work for WWE as a referee.
