9 Things You Need To Know About WWE’s New Performance Center Recruits

9. Aleksander Jaksic Was Trained By Santino Marella

If 24-year old Aleksander Jaksic can marry the comedy of Santino Marella and the athleticism of old WCW favourite Alex Wright, then he'll be onto something. Jaksic primarily trained at Marella's Battle Arts Academy in Canada, but also received some pointers from 'Das Wunderkind'.

Indy fans in Germany may recognise him as LX Ken; Jaksic has worked under that ring name for everyone from NECW and COW to GHW and CWE in the country over the past couple of years. Before that, he was semi-pro in the German basketball world. WWE is a bit of an expansion in terms of locales then.

Santino's knowledge of the WWE system could prove invaluable for Aleksander. The Canadian-born athlete has time on his side to bed in at the Performance Center, and he shouldn't be in any rush to make an impact and move on to regular shows.
