Dragon Gate USA & EVOLVE Wrestling sent out the following statement earlier today in regards to reports of Samuray del Sol signing a developmental deal or being close to signing one with the WWE.

“There are many rumors about Samuray Del Sol going to WWE. Del Sol, who has risen as today’s hottest lucha star, will challenge Open The Freedom Gate Champion Johnny Gargano for the title this Sunday night on live iPPV at WWNLive.com from Ybor City, FL. He is also in a big match tomorrow night in Orlando against Anthony Nese and Saturday in Jacksonville vs. upcomer Shane Strickland. We have been assured that should Del Sol win the title, he will be back on the July 27th and July 28th events in New York City to defend the belt. Could we see The Summer Of Del Sol?”
