Report: NXT producer Steve Corino signs new WWE contract
Former ECW World Champion Steve Corino has reportedly signed a new deal to continue in his behind-the-scenes role with WWE.
Bodyslam.net reports that the 51-year-old Corino has signed a new multi-year WWE contract. He’s worked behind the scenes in WWE/NXT since 2017 as a coach and producer.
The report states that Corino will continue to be a tag team coach at the WWE Performance Center along with producing for NXT, and he has shown interest in having some NXT talent compete for his Premier Wrestling Federation indie promotion.
“In addition, I was told that Corino is interested in getting some NXT Talents to come in and work some potential PWF (Premier Wrestling Federation) shows,” Bodyslam.net wrote. “Steve Corino is part owner of both PWF and the Carolina Wrestling Academy, along with Jacob Hammermeier, and his son Colby Corino.”
Corino was inducted into Game Changer Wrestling & Orange Crush Magazine’s Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame earlier this year. He had a two-decade career in the ring and was also a commentator in the past, calling shows for ROH and NJPW.
