A newly signed WWE talent recently revealed the marks he earned during his very first day of training at the WWE Performance Center. WWE recently announced the addition of Meghan Walker, Cyrus Habibi-Rikio, and Jessica Bognadov to their roster. Since his release, Habibi-Rikio has been active on social media, sharing his journey of relocating to Orlando, Florida, and launching his own business. After his initial training session, he posted a video showcasing a scar on his back caused by running the ropes, a common first-day challenge for new wrestlers. Many rookies find that running the ropes is more painful than anticipated. Habibi-Rikio humorously described the ropes as tough, dismissing any assumptions that they might be cushioned like boxing ring ropes, calling it his “Welcome to WWE” moment.
