As I broke exclusively last night on my PWInsider.com Elite Audio Hotline, World Wrestling Entertainment has signed Chris Mordetzky, professionally known as Chris Masters to return to the company.
Masters, who had a long talk with Vince McMahon (one source told me they had a one hour meeting) at the WWE TV Tapings last week in Los Angeles began canceling planned bookings yesterday, telling promoters he would be returning imminently to WWE television. Masters had been a regular visitor at the LA tapings for some time.
As I noted on my Hotline, Masters could end up being a test case for WWE going forward. He was released in November 2007 following his second WWE Wellness Policy suspension. Should he be suspended during this new run, we'll know how suspensions from previous WWE contractual agreements would stand if/when a talent is signed to a new deal following a period where they are not employed by the company.
During his first run, Masters, a regular on the Raw roster, only appeared in one PPV main event, the New Year's Revolution Elimination Chamber in Albany, NY in 2007, won by then-WWE champion John Cena.
There is no word as to when he is set to return to television.
