Shane Strickland Says He Is Officially A Free Agent

Shane Strickland says he is now free to sign anywhere!

If you remember, back in mid-November it was reported that WWE was likely to announce a new class of recruits for the Performance Center in Orlando in January with the expectation being we could see some familiar faces there including Trevor Lee and Shane Strickland.

Following that news a couple of weeks later, it was revealed that the arrival of ‘Swerve’ could be delayed, as there was an issue with his Lucha Underground contract (he competed there as Killshot, find more on that here). This week, we learned that the aforementioned Trevor Lee has now signed with WWE (check that story out here), but there has been no updates on Strickland’s status.

Today, that has now changed as ‘Swerve’ to took Twitter to reveal that he is officially a free agent:

Officially a free agent again

A first glance this may seem like a fake account for ‘Swerve’, however his official Twitter account was recently hacked and he since started up a new one. At this time, it’s still strongly speculated that WWE is the destination for Strickland, but there is always the chance that the upstart All Elite Wrestling could come in with a better offer now. Stick with The Chairshot for further updates on Strickland’s next move as they become available.
