The number of WWE recruits at its Performance Center has increased by three.

The Stamford promotion occasionally organizes tryouts throughout the year, giving participants a chance to land developmental contracts.

The latest additions are Jessica Bogdanov, Megan Walker, and Cyrus Habibi-Likio.

Bogdanov is a Russian pole dancer who specializes in different crafts, including rhythmic gymnastics and freestyle calisthenics. Walker is a former track and field competitor at the University of Nebraska.

Habibi-Likio, who had taken part in WWE tryouts during SummerSlam weekend, played as a running back at Boise State and Oregon.

The company’s NXT Twitter account made the official announcement, sharing a post about the new signings.

The timeline of their in-ring debut is currently unknown.

Top AEW Stars Admit To Almost Signing With WWE

Having been in AEW since its inception in 2019, it is hard to imagine The Young Bucks ever being WWE talents.

While speaking on Adam’s Apple, Matt and Nick Jackson revealed that they held multiple negotiations with the Stamford-based company.

Pretty close. Like, yeah, we were almost going to sign the contract. I mean, there was never an actual physical contract, but we were negotiating.

The brothers then argued about the timeline, with Matt claiming that 2019 was different.

Nick: “Not even at that time, but many times before in our career almost.”

Matt: “There’s been a couple, but in 2019 was probably the closest.

Currently also serving as AEW’s Executive Vice Presidents, the duo, along with Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega, built the roster by bringing in talent they had worked with in other promotions and indies.
