WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon dislikes popular Superstar, Company to prevent former World Champion from wrestling - 7th February 2020

#1. Wrestler finally accepts WWE's open offer

WWE announced the long-awaited signings of Timothy Thatcher and Killer Kross this week and the highly-rated talents are expected to make their NXT debuts soon.

Regarding Thatcher, Dave Meltzer revealed in the WON that the wrestler had an open offer to join the WWE that stood for years. The company first saw him wrestle Kassius Ohno in 2015 and were impressed by what he brought to the table.

The wrestler, however, turned down the offer at that time as he wanted to focus on other things in life. Thatcher most recently attempted to make a career in Japan, however, he chose to finally come to the WWE as nothing worked out.

Meltzer revealed:

Timothy Thatcher, 36, who has had an open offer to come to WWE for years, has agreed to come and will likely be part of Imperium. He was at the Performance Center this past week. Basically, I was told after the years of being recruited he finally decided it was time to give it a shot. Things have changed for him in the past year and he had tried to get a regular Japan gig, but none came through.

Better late than never, Thatcher is finally here.
