WWE reportedly interested in former ROH World Champion

[Chris]

WWE has an interest in signing Matt Taven, according to Dave Meltzer.

Talking on Monday's Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer talked about several talents that wrapped up with Impact Wrestling after this weekend's shows -- a list includes Mia Yim, Taven, Vincent, Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Bennett.

He said WWE is interested in the 37-year-old Taven, a former tag team champion in Impact and NJPW, and Ring of Honor Grand Slam champion. It's unknown if that interest is for the main roster or NXT.

He speculated that NJPW might also have interest in Taven, Bennett and Kanellis-Bennett because of their history there.

Taven, Bennett, Kanellis-Bennett and Vincent will be written off on Impact over the next two weeks based on Saturday's post-Bound for Glory TV taping.

The four have been in the company since this past January.

Vincent and Bateman were both backstage at Raw Monday, but it's unknown if WWE is interested in signing either man.

interesting. understandable why they may be interested in Bennet

Tbh I hope my clickbait title makes people mad bc of the meme Taven has become lol

But I still like the guy, I can't lie. Should never be a top guy again clearly but I was loving the OGK tag run and I think that can succeed anywhere. If they wanna reform some Kingdom shit with Vincent too, I can accept that though I'd rather Vincent do his own thing (or at least be the main guy in a group)

I personally think they are peak as a team so hope they remain. I don't really see Taven succeeding on any big show alone but depends if they could find smth for him. Good for them if they get paid, will say HNM was pretty fun

I’ve never gotten Taven at all he’s just so meh to me but I’m not gonna break shit and cry if they sign him

Vincent and Bateman with Bray would be amazing, and I could see Taven and the Bennetts working in NXT to help train and work with the newer talent down there.

If Taven and Vincent continue their never ending and entirely too long feud in another company I'm out though that was one of the reasons I didn't really mind that them together in Honor No More didn't make the most sense bc I was so tired of seeing them fight lmao

It’s been a while since I’ve paid attention to anything Taven related. Good for him if he gets a deal

I have such a funny history with Taven, I thought he was great when he first appeared in ROH as a lower carder and was hyping him up as a future star, stopped watching before he ever got a real push though lol I remember seeing he won the title and was happy a few years later despite knowing no context, then I get back into wrestling a bit later and found out how hated he'd become was wild

Why? Just stop.

also Vincent & Bateman be perfect for Wyatt6 btw

Taven had a raw deal with being ROH Champ, wrong place at the wrong time (even with the stuff that came out about Marty Scurll after, like he was the most over guy in the company post-Elite he was probably the best choice to walk out as ROH Champ in MSG), but he's underrated for sure. If he and Mike Bennet team together then I think they will have great value. I'd imagine Triple H wants to beef up WWE's tag division to make it deep after years of Vince just not caring much for it. I doubt he'd even need to go to NXT.

I always liked Taven and I could see why people disliked the length of the vincet feud but, remember The Kingdom was one of ROH biggest factions ever. So this was there Seth/Roman or Ciampa/Gargano
