PWInsider.com is reporting former WWE star and NXT trainer Billy Gunn was the person who got James Storm in touch with WWE officials.

As reported, Storm was seen with Gunn last Wednesday at Full Sail University, where NXT tapes it’s TV shows and site of last week’s Takeover special. Storm then worked a match the next night during the NXT TV tapings; Gunn and Storm are actually good friends outside of wrestling, and he [Gunn] set up the meeting between WWE and Storm.

On a similar note, it was reported earlier that TNA wanted to resign Storm, and tried to make him an offer to get him back for their tour of India. One report said TNA made a “big money offer” to Storm, but this is being disputed. TNA did contact Storm about a return, but the figure offered was likely closer to the similar offer last week.
