Nick Comoroto Reveals 2+ Years Waiting on WWE’s ‘To Be Signed’ List
Nick Comoroto, a veteran of the AEW roster, recently opened up about the long road that led him to WWE. During a virtual signing event with Captain’s Corner, the former UFC fighter‑turned‑wrestler explained that he spent more than two years on WWE’s “To Be Signed” list before finally receiving an official contract.

From UFC to the Squared Circle
Comoroto’s journey began in mixed‑martial arts, where he built a reputation as a tough, high‑energy competitor. After a brief stint in WWE’s developmental system, he transitioned to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he became a fan favorite for his hard‑hitting style and charismatic presence. Despite his success in AEW, Comoroto never lost sight of his ambition to compete on the WWE stage.
The Two‑Year Wait
During the virtual signing, Comoroto recounted the frustration of being on WWE’s “To Be Signed” list for over 24 months. He described the list as a place where the company keeps track of talent it’s interested in but hasn’t yet signed. While waiting, he continued to hone his craft in AEW, proving that he was ready for the next step when the opportunity finally arrived.
Gerald Brisco’s Role
Comoroto highlighted the influence of Gerald Brisco, a WWE Hall of Famer known for his mentorship. Brisco’s endorsement and guidance were pivotal in moving Comoroto up the ranks, ultimately leading to the official contract that ended the long wait. The veteran’s support exemplifies how networking and respect within the industry can accelerate a wrestler’s career.
What This Means for Comoroto’s Future
