WWE introduces RFK Jr’s niece as part of latest rookie class
Even after making cuts last Friday, WWE is always continuing to add young talent to the Performance Center, formally announcing four new would-be wrestlers on Wednesday as part of their latest rookie class.
One of those joining the fray is Zoe Hines, the niece of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm).
A college softball player who graduated from Boston College, Hines also competed for France’s national softball team in addition to its U22 program. She was part of last year’s tryouts during SummerSlam weekend and her uncle revealed earlier this year that she had signed a deal.
Hines joins three others:
- Alyssa Daniele: She took part in January’s tryouts and has a past in modeling.
- Garrett Beck: A lacrosse player for Grand Canyon University, Beck signed a WWE NIL deal nearly a year ago.
- Nicholas Panicali: He is a former volleyball player for Sacred Heart University.
