WWE has officially announced the signings of three new talents to the Performance Center and NXT developmental system.
WWE has made a few signings and held tryouts throughout the year of 2025, with three new recruits confirmed today.
The first new signing confirmed is Meghan Walker.
Walker had been signed to a WWE NIL deal and was really presented as one of the social media faces of that division along with the likes of Brock Rechsteiner and Jacob Henry, attending a few WWE events throughout the year including WrestleMania.
She has now been signed to a full-time regular NXT deal, so she’s effectively ‘graduated’ from the NIL program.
Walker was at Nebraska-Lincoln University as a track and field star.
The second officially confirmed signing is Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who took part in the SummerSlam week tryouts a few months ago.
Habibi-Likio was first noticed by WWE after posting on social media about attending the company’s events.
He was a running back for the Boise State Broncos.
The third new announced signing is Jessica Bogdanov, another pickup from the SummerSlam week tryouts.
Bognadov is originally from Russia and is a pole dancer and gymmast.
