WWE SOURCES INDICATE THEY HAVE SIGNED RING OF HONOR CHAMPION

World Wrestling Entertainment has signed Ring of Honor champion Tyler Black a contract, according to multiple sources within the company.  At least one WWE source has indicated that Black will be starting officially with WWE in September.  I believe Black will be signing a developmental deal, but I don't have that 100% confirmed.

Black, 26, has been with Ring of Honor since 2007 and won the ROH championship in February 2010 from Austin Aries,  He is also a former ROH Tag Team champion.

Black has several title defenses scheduled for August and September, including a defense against Davey Richards in Charlotte, NC.

ROH owner Cary Silkin issued a "no comment" when contacted this morning about Black signing.
