WWE revealed on Monday, November 24th, that three new talents will be joining the WWE Performance Center. Let’s take a quick look at these future WWE NXT stars.
These recruits are all signed to WWE contracts after participating in the tryouts held during SummerSlam week. One notable new recruit is Megan Walker, a former track and field athlete from the University of Nebraska. She initially joined WWE through the NIL program and has now become a full-time member of the company. Similarly, Bianca Belair also transitioned from a collegiate track and field career to WWE stardom. The other two recruits include Silas Habibi-Likio, who played football for Boise State and the Oregon Ducks, and Jessica Bogdanov, a gymnast who competed at the USA Gymnastics Rhythmic Championships and the Pan American Games. Walker excitedly announced the news to WWE fans on Twitter, while Habibi-Likio shared a clip saying, “Time to wrestle!”
Congratulations to these three new signees. Meanwhile, John Cena recently visited the WWE Performance Center during his retirement tour. In late October, Cena spent a week mentoring the new recruits and sharing his knowledge. He expressed gratitude on Twitter on October 29th for the opportunity to learn from and teach fellow WWE stars. Cena’s visit inspired several NXT talents, including Tyson “The Brick” Dupont, who expressed his honor in learning from Cena. In a November 18th interview, Kehlani Jordan praised Cena’s generosity and balance, highlighting how he openly shares both his triumphs and challenges despite his busy schedule. With legends like Cena taking the time to support new talent, WWE’s future looks bright.
Fan Take: This news is exciting for WWE fans because it shows the company’s commitment to nurturing fresh talent with strong athletic backgrounds, ensuring the sport’s evolution. Having a legend like John Cena involved in mentoring the next generation highlights WWE’s dedication to excellence, promising thrilling new stars and unforgettable matches ahead.
