WWE NXT Performance Center Signings

A group of new WWE superstars include the powerhouse Zaria along with the son of Evander Holyfield and another man who could be part of The Bloodline.

On social media, WWE welcomed a new group of prospects assigned to the NXT brand.

One of the newcomers signed is Elijah Holyfield, who is the son of legendary boxer Evander Holyfield. Evander made a WWE appearance in 2007 during a Saturday Night’s Main Event show where he boxed Matt Hardy. Elijah is a former college football player who took part in a WWE tryout during Summerslam weekend.

Lance Anoi’a is also part of the WWE recruiting class. Lance was a part of the Samoan SWAT Team in MLW with WWE’s Jacob Fatu and Juicy Finau. Lance also appeared as an enhancement talent in WWE.

If Lance’s last name is familiar it’s because it’s the real last name of WWE’s Roman Reigns, whose real name is Joe Anoi’a. Roman’s late father Afa is Lance’s grandfather while former WWE superstar Samu is Lance’s father.

Another wrestler pictured with the group of newcomers is NXT superstar Zaria, who is from Australia. Since debuting on NXT, Zaria has proven to be a powerhouse and was part of the 10-woman tag team main event on WWE NXT on November 6th in Philadelphia.
