MMA Fighter, Former Wrestling Star Meets With WWE

Sources say “Tough Enough” winner and undefeated MMA fighter Daniel Puder was backstage at Summerslam.

Puder was spotted talking to WWE’s Talent VP John Laurinaitis, although most do not believe either party is seriously interested in working on a return deal.

Presently 8-0 in MMA, Puder would require a lot of re-training in developmental in order to succeed as a wrestler. That would require him to sideline his MMA career; even then, there is no guarantee it would lead to anything major with WWE.
