– The Chad Dukes Radio Show out of Washington, DC reports that popular WWE Tough Enough competitor Patrick Clark has signed a WWE developmental deal and is currently at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.

Clark was scheduled for two Maryland Championship Wrestling appearances this weekend but missed them.

PWInsider reports that Clark, age 19, will be officially signed as soon as the standard medical tests are complete. He had a tryout at the Performance Center a few weeks back.

Apparently WWE Hall of Famer Lita, who is now working behind-the-scenes with the company, played a big role in getting Patrick his deal.
