New WWE Performance Center Recruits From NJPW, ROH and Impact Revealed

Several former Ring Of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling stars will be starting at WWE’s Performance Center in early February, according to a report on Wrestling Inc.

Trevor Lee was a name already known – he announced the news himself on a recent indy show. The former three-time X Division Champion will be joined by another former Impact star, Sam Shaw, who won TNA Gut Check in 2010.

ACH has been rumoured as a new WWE signing for some time and he is also expected to be part of the February intake. The former ROH man has been a semi-regular in New Japan for years and featured on MLW’s Fusion TV show.

Australian Jonah Rock, who is perhaps best known for his spell in PWG and also worked in New Japan last year, is another addition.

Newcomers Rachael Ellering and Karen Q both appeared in the Mae Young Classic last year. Ellering was also in the 2017 competition and has made several NXT appearances as Rachael Evers. Q was a regular in ROH’s Women of Honor division.

Also joining the ranks are Canadian tag team 3.0, Scott Parker and Shane Matthews, who have made appearances on NXT television in enhancement matches previously. Rounding out the class of 2019 are 6’5″ Australian Elliot Sexton and 6’3″ American powerhouse Nick Comoroto.
