Silver medallist Puerto Rico's  Jaime Yu

Ad

The WWE is planning to sign Jaime Espinal, who won a silver medal in the 185 pounds bout at the 2012 London Olympics. Recently, it was told that Espinal was interested in both MMA and WWE.

Espinal is the one of the only two Olympic medallists from Puerto Rico in any sport. He lost to Sharif Sharifov in the finals of the 2012 Olympics, and recently showed an interest in joining pro-wrestling and mixed martial arts.

If the WWE is able to sign Espinal, they will add a great deal of variety to their roster. With wrestlers such as Kurt Angle, who have great in-ring skills, tough to find, the signing of Espinal will provide a technically sound talent.
