A indie wrestler known as Conan Lycan has signed a WWE ID deal after appearing on Mr. Beast's Amazon reality competition show. The deal was announced during Wednesday's Evolve show, where WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles revealed the news to Lycan, whose real name is Nick Mariano.
Lycan, an independent wrestler, was part of Mr. Beast's Amazon series, which features competitive matches and real-life challenges. The show has previously featured other wrestlers who have gone on to sign with WWE. During the Evolve event, Lycan was flanked by Nathan Frazer as he received the news.
This marks a significant step for Lycan, who has been active in the independent wrestling circuit. The WWE ID program allows talent to gain exposure and potentially move into the main roster. Lycan's signing highlights the growing influence of Amazon's wrestling content in the industry.
The deal comes as part of WWE's ongoing efforts to expand its talent pool and integrate new talent from various platforms. Lycan's participation in Mr. Beast's show demonstrates the crossover potential between streaming platforms and traditional wrestling promotions. His next steps will depend on WWE's evaluation process and potential opportunities within the company.
