As reported first exclusively by Sportskeeda's Gary Cassidy, EVOLVE wrestlers 'Retro' Anthony Greene and Leon Ruff have been signed to NXT contracts.

Gary Cassidy added that WWE is expected to sign more names in the near future.

Both Ruff and Greene were part of EVOLVE, a promotion that was reportedly purchased by WWE recently.

PWInsider first revealed the information on the WWE signing of Leon Ruff. The Wrestling Observer corroborated the stories of both signings.

Anthony Greene has been a known face in the indie scene for the past few years, and he wrestled his last match for EVOLVE against Mansoor in March 2020.

The WWE Universe would be familiar with Leon Ruff as he has been featured as an enhancement talent on RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and 205 Live in recent weeks.

It was revealed a few weeks ago that WWE would bring in EVOLVE talents to NXT, and we should expect more signings to happen soon.
