WWE Scouting NCAA Champion?, Randy Orton In WWE Immortals, Wrestling Event At NY Mets Citi Field
- Sirius XM Radio co-host of The Todd Shapiro Show Jay Brody tweeted MMA personality Front Row Brian and wrote that WWE should sign NCAA wrestling champion J'den Cox. Brian agreed and stated that Cox "could be what they wanted Lashley to be." WWE talent scout Gerald Brisco tweeted back at the two noting that he was in Iowa at a wrestling tournament to perhaps do just that:
"@FrontRowBrian: @theJaybrody @SuperstarW14T @JRsBBQ I'm sure @Fgbrisco has him on his list. @SuperstarW14T is why I came to Iowa real deal
