A talented women’s wrestler could be WWE-bound, according to recent reports. 

Nikki Blackheart is an independent women’s wrestler with all the tools to become a future WWE superstar.

Earlier this month, Blackheart confirmed reports that she had been invited to a WWE tryout over the past two weeks, and she wrote excitedly about giving it her all.

“The biggest pinch me moment 🖤 I was officially invited to the @wwe try out.

“My heart is overflowing with gratitude for all the moments experienced, all the people that have helped me in my journey, my coach, my loved ones, my classmates, all the promoters that took a chance on me, my @lodestone_est2025 girls, and all my supporters that believed in me from day one. I have so much more to say, but for now all I can say is THANK YOU !! 🖤And I’m ready to earn my place @wwerecruit”

The Lodestone training session was organized by WWE’s Bayley and featured appearances by some big names in WWE, including John Cena, Charlotte Flair, Natalya, Lyra Valkyria, and many others. 

WWE Is Likely To Sign Nikki Blackheart

During a recent Fightful Select Answers Q&A, Sean Ross Sapp was asked whether Blackheart was likely to join WWE after the tryouts, and Sapp considered her a “sure thing” to be signed. Sapp noted that if WWE passed on her, AEW or TNA would likely sign Blackheart. 

Regarding her pro-wrestling background, Blackheart has been in the business for less than two years, debuting in June 2024. She has worked for Coastal Championship Wrestling in Florida, as well as WWE-owned AAA and other promotions. Blackheart is currently the CCW Women’s Champion and MPX Women’s Champion.

There will likely be more news about the recent WWE tryouts in the coming weeks.
