In an update on the HGH/steroid discovery in Georgia that has been linked to ECW performer Mike Knox, World Wrestling Entertainment told the FOX affiliate in Atlanta was Knox was among four developmental talents who rented a home together at that address.  They told the station that only Knox is still under contract to the company and that he has denied ownership.  A second box found in the vicinity of the drugs contained documents relating to Knox's WWE employment, including his contract.

PWInsider.com has independently confirmed that Ryan O'Riley and Derek Niekirk were two of the other three residents of the home.  Niekirk was released last year due to WWE Wellness Policy issues while O'Riley, who was about to be called up to the Raw brand, requested his release as he and girlfriend Kristy Vaine decided they didn't want a life on the road.
