This trio were tied together during an article looking at April 2020 releases one year on in 2021, and they'll be linked here too. After all, all three barely made it out of WWE's Performance Center onto TV shows before being cruelly cast out. Current AEW star Tay Melo was the most prolific of them - she's worked for Tony Khan's group since 2020, and has since married Sammy Guevara.

Cezar Bononi found his way to All Elite as well, but he hasn't worked for the group since 2023. Most recently, he's been spotted on the indy circuit.

Then, there's Nick Comoroto. He's another that Khan took a right good look at and eventually signed. Comoroto found a spot on ROH subsidiary before going down with a nasty AEW injury that's kept him benched since.
