JR tweeted his thoughts on it:

Jim Ross ?@JRsBBQ
I like it. Viable upside. Can get better which is good. "@Bob_Delph: @ElGenerico @JRsBBQ Thoughts on @WWE signing this talent? Thanks!"

and

Jim Ross ?@JRsBBQ
Can't speak 4 #WWE but I wouldn't. I'd want ownership. "@AlexKalil: @JRsBBQ What are odds of @WWE letting @ElGenerico keep his character?

Meltzer also said they had signed him earlier. Wonder how this will end up.

 

[CM Punk]

Have the strongest feeling they won't utilize him well.

Cole would be awesome.

@"Senhor Perfect"

While the initial word we received yesterday morning was that El Generico has signed with WWE, he actually has not signed. I apologize for the error and any confusion.
We are told by several sources that he is undergoing his physical testing and upon passing, he will be signed. So, he has not signed yet, but will, barring any delays.

In the past, issues that came up during testing led to the delays in signing Daniel Bryan and Kassius Ohno and led to WWE yanking Nigel McGuinness' deal, so it's possible one could pop up.

Generico had pulled himself off Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's DDT 4 tournament in Los Angeles this weekend due to signing, but the promotion announced late today that he was back on despite "injury", which was his storyline exit. So, fans in California will get to see what may be Generico's potential final "home" indy date this weekend.

Generico is also booked for the debut of the Hart Family Legacy promotion in Calgary. We will have more on that event shortly.

As we noted earlier yesterday, WWE has a list of talents they are interested in signing. We have more details on that in the PWInsider.com Elite section.

So he is not signed yet but will likely sign in the next couple of days/weeks then. :

Nice. Kudos to him then, and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed all goes well.
Will be interesting to learn who else WWE is interested in signing.

Adam Cole and Sami Callihan to name two. There is a thread on it in General WWE which also reveals who is pushing for the signing of more indy guys.
