WWE announces three new signings, recent recruit gets NXT name

WWE has officially confirmed the addition of three new Performance Center recruits.

It was announced today that Meghan Walker, Cyrus Habibi-Likio, and Jessica Bogdanov have signed with WWE and joined the Performance Center. All three attended WWE’s SummerSlam week tryouts a few months back and were recently reported to have signed WWE deals.

Walker, a track star at the University of Nebraska, was signed to the WWE NIL program before now joining the company full time. Habibi-Likio is a former college football player who played running back at Boise State, while Bogdanov is of Russian heritage and is an accomplished gymnast.

In addition to this announcement, some news emerged today regarding another recent WWE addition. French wrestler Aigle Blanc — who reported to the Performance Center last month — looks like he’ll be using “Elio Lefleur” as his NXT name. He’s listed under that name for a triple threat match against Jack Cartwheel and Chris Carter at Lucha Libre AAA’s November 28 TV taping in Puebla, Mexico. The winner earns a shot at the AAA Cruiserweight title.

Blanc (real name Cyril Coquerelle) competed across Europe and in Japan before signing with WWE.
