15 New WWE Signings Confirmed
WWE welcomes 15 new athletes to the Performance Center for its fall intake.
WWE has this week announced 15 new signings, with a host of athletes from various backgrounds joining the Performance Center as part of its Fall 2022 intake.
The group fits WWE's developmental remit, as the promotion continues to lean heavily on prospects without considerable wrestling experience that it can theoretically sculpt into TV-ready stars from the ground up. Included in this batch of new recruits are former football players, track and field athletes, and cheerleaders.
WWE has a short write-up on the latest Performance Center intake on its official website. Accompanying this is a video introducing the pro wrestling hopefuls before a live crowd, with WWE running through each person individually.
The vast majority of the newcomers attended a WWE tryout over SummerSlam 2022 weekend in Nashville, Tennesse. The only exception is Monika Klisara, a former Team Canada representative in karate, whose tryout took place over WrestleMania 38 weekend in Dallas, Texas.
