WWE has signed Alex Koslov to a developmental contract. Although AAA owner Dorian Roldan has stated on his Twitter page that Koslov will finish the year with AAA, there is talk that Koslov will actually start work in developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling in October. Koslov has been working for the Mexican promotion and was recently involved in the high profile angle involving Billy Corgan at the Smashing Pumpkins concert.

Powell's POV: WWE officials told Koslov that they were impressed by his talent, but felt he needed to work on his ring psychology. The feeling was that working the lucha style caused a lapse in that area of his game. He's a talented performer and the fact that he speaks English, Russian, and broken Spanish can only help him in WWE.
