Although I do believe that Steen has signed with the WWE, I think this picture is photoshopped. I just find the whole picture to look odd. Either way, good for Steen and I really hope that him traveling on the road doesn't mean he won't be able to see his wife and kids anymore, he seems like he really loves spending time with them so it would suck for him to be away from them. I wonder if he's moving the family to Florida. The NXT loop is all within driving distance, right? So he could be home most nights probably. Otherwise I don't think he'll be able to get to Montreal at all while he's in developmental. I could see this being a situation where it doesn't work out because he doesn't want to be away from his family, but I guess he's taken all that into consideration. Interested to see how he fares in NXT. Devitt and Kenta haven't wrestled on any shows yet have they?They haven't, they have just been backstage at shows.

Perfect, hopefully he doesn't get the generic monster heel run once he makes the main roster.

It's pretty crazy that right now he is the #2 trend on Twitter only behind Robin Williams. I know the trending crap is pretty stupid, but that's pretty cool for him to be getting talked about that much.

Please don't this up Please don't this up Please don't this up Please don't this up Steen is talented. Like really. He could be a mega star in this company if they LET HIM BE HIM. I mean I will agree with the decision to not allow him to do the package pile driver, PD's are dangerous, we aren't trying to get anyone paralyzed anymore. But if they let him work his style, and actually be a good character, not just generic monster heel #1426523634735254 or generic babyface #215 it could work Big thing is, Steen can talk...he has passion, he has drive. People latch on to that kind of thing.

The Package Piledriver is much safer than a piledriver. I'm hoping that them acknowledging it in the article is a sign that he'll continue to use it.
Won't be able to use the F5 or Senton anymore, so he's gotta use something.

I recall when people were saying that Kevin Steen in WWE would never happen, claiming that he was too overweight and wouldn't stand a chance in the company.
Go far, Steen. Go far and prove them wrong.

WWE has been on a tremendous role lately with their signings. Future is brighter than ever IMO.

I just hope these signings aren't for the sole purpose of getting subscriptions to the WWE Network... and they intend on having these WRESTLERS as the future of the company
... I'm very doubtful, though.

WWE signs Kevin Steen to NXTWWE has signed Canadian Superstar Kevin Steen to its NXT division. The burly, outspoken, Package Piledriving Quebec native, who bolts around the ring with equal parts grace and bad intentions, thrives on throwing fists and talking trash. A 14-year veteran, Steen began training, with his parents’ approval, when he was a teenager. Possessing what no less than “Stone Cold” Steve Austin has described as a “hell of an arsenal,” Steen has earned many accolades in North America and abroad, including the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Ring of Honor heavyweight championships. In 2013, the magazine Pro Wrestling Illustrated ranked him 10th on its annual list of the world’s top 500 wrestlers. Along the way to becoming a world-class competitor, he also amassed one of the largest followings of any wrestler outside WWE, a fanbase that belts out their “Fight, Steen, fight!” mantra with pride. In his first official interview as a WWE signee, Steen spoke to WWE.com about his long-awaited signing, his expectations for NXT, WWE Network’s debut on Rogers Communications and his well-documented passion for visiting zoos. See the rest: www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-signs-kevin-steen-26556027 Why do they mention a Move that they propably are not going to allow him to use ? But i hope that means that they allow him to use it

He'll be teamed with Sandow or slater.

He'll be teamed with Sandow or slater. So he'll randomly get put on the main roster and thrown into a tag team that would most likely be entertaining? Is that what you're getting at?
