WWE Signing Strategy Revealed: Some Talent Signed With Plans, Others Figured Out Later

TLDR

According to Sean Ross Sapp during a Fightful Select Q&A, WWE's talent signing strategy varies on a case-by-case basis, with some wrestlers brought in with specific creative plans already developed while others are signed first and their direction figured out later. Sapp cited examples like Danhausen having a clear plan before debuting, while Royce Keys appeared to be signed without a definitive creative direction, and Ricky Starks was put on TV immediately while his storyline developed in real time.
