According to WZ Radio regular Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com, former WWE NXT star Solomon Crowe, known on the indy scene as Sami Callihan, has signed a deal to appear on season three of Lucha Underground.
Multiple sources say Sami began negotiations to join the roster not long after appearing in a dark match during a season 2 taping, and he’s expected to debut at the Temple this weekend.
Callihan was released from WWE NXT last year.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
