Ex-Syracuse Football Player Josh Black Signs With WWE

Former Syracuse football player Josh Black recently signed a three-year contract with WWE.

The Rockford Register Star is reporting that Black, who played defensive lineman at Syracuse, recently signed a 3-year “rookie contract” with WWE. Of course, that means he’ll be training at the Performance Center in Orlando, FL.

Black was involved in the SummerSlam 2023 tryouts in Detroit, MI. WWE called him earlier today to announce that he was being signed. He said,

“I waited and waited; but it was so worth the wait. I was a little struck. It was one of those moments, where you are like ‘Is this really happening.’”

Black added, “I was a little worried, sure [after the 13-day wait], but I knew I had a good thing going. I knew I did well at that tryout. Now, I’ve got a contract coming in about a week, and then it’s off to Orlando (Florida) in the next 2 or 3 months for a new life.”
