Three new faces are officially part of WWEs Performance Center system, and the next generation of NXT is starting to take shape.
According to PWInsider, Meghan Walker, Jessica Bognadov, and Cyrus Habibi-Likio have all signed full WWE developmental contracts and are now officially part of the NXT roster pipeline.
Meghan Walker
Meghan Walker is no stranger to WWE circles. The former track and field standout from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was previously part of WWEs NIL program, but has now upgraded to a full Performance Center deal. Shes been seen attending major WWE events this year including WrestleMania, the Hall of Fame ceremony, and Money in the Bank. Walker was part of the same NIL class as Jacob Henry (Mark Henrys son), Brock Rechsteiner (Scott Steiners son and Bron Breakkers cousin), and TJ Bullard (Titus ONeils son).
Jessica Bognadov
Jessica Bognadov brings a completely different background to the table. A Russian pole dancer and gymnast, Bognadov impressed during the SummerSlam week tryouts and has now landed a full developmental deal. Her unique athleticism could make her one of the most visually striking additions to the womens division.
Cyrus Habibi-Likio
Also joining the class is Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who played running back for the Boise State Broncos and also participated in the SummerSlam tryouts earlier this year. His mix of size, agility, and football conditioning fits right into WWEs ongoing trend of scooping up former collegiate athletes with serious upside.
All three signees are on full-time Performance Center contracts not NIL deals or talent agreements on the fringes. That means theyre all expected to start training and developing for in-ring competition under the NXT system immediately.
With backgrounds ranging from NCAA track and field to pole dancing to Division I football, this trio adds serious variety to WWEs developmental landscape.
