So far only Uhaa is the only one to really make an impact.

Levis Valenzuela Jr. just made it to tv as No Way Jose

Nhooph Al-Areebi-Aaiyah made her debut on N.X.T. in a battle royal and idk if seen her on TV since.

Jessica McKay may have had a jobber match on N.X.T.

I dont think the rest have made it to TV at all

The latest class of recruits has reported for training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. The group brings a wide array of experience to the WWE PC, including independent and international wrestling experience as well as in professional sports.

Deveon Everheart Aiken, better known to fans as Dezmond Xavier, brings a dazzling array of aerial offense to the PC. Aiken, a nine-year-veteran of the squared circle, has competed for promotions including Combat Zone Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Impact Wrestling.

Zachary Green, aka Zachary Wentz, is a frequent tag team partner of Aiken’s. The 26-year-old Ohio native is also a former MMA fighter.

Alex Brandenburg competed under the name Alex Zayne on the independent scene. The Kentucky native has made a name for himself in promotions like Game Changer Wrestling, Black Label Pro and Ring of Honor during his 15-year career.

Sojiru “Ikemen” Higuchi is a 26-year-old wrestler from Japan who was trained by former United States and WWE Tag Team Champion Tajiri, and he has competed for Wrestle-1 and All-Japan Pro Wrestling.

Twenty-three-year-old Georgia native Anriel Howard played college basketball at Mississippi State and Texas A&M. She was selected in the 2019 WNBA Draft, and played professionally for the Seattle Storm.

Russ Taylor of Phelan, Calif. brings plenty of global experience to the WWE PC. Taylor has competed for wXw in Germany, as well as in Japan and across the United States.

Alex Zayne is insane. probably would be better off at AEW but he's still dope. Saw him live a few times. Not sure if he can do promos tho.

interesting to look t the old classes. Montez lost some weight. He seems to be off to the best start of that bunch and its no surprise.

they need to get Aliyah out of here :camby:

I thought they signed all three of The Rascalz? Where's Trey?

And it's wild that dudes who have been wrestling 10-15 years have to go through the same Performance Center training as people who have never wrestled before.

Time out Aliyah was signed with the same class as Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Montez Ford and No Way Jose?

That's just when they announced her. She was actually the first PC recruit because she was standing in Florida one day & they built the building around her.

I thought they signed Trey Miguel too:dwillhuh:

Meltzer said AEW was still in play for him. Seems pointless to be honest since he'll just be another random guy there that doesn't do anything different from 10 other random guys they got there. At least in NXT he would probably get a decent push with the other Rascalz since NXT needs tag teams in the worst way :manny:

Dez and Wentz :wow:

Trey prob is better off in AEW or MLW with his girl. Hoped he was gonna roll with Dez and Zach, but he’ll prob be treated like Ricochet once on the main roster :manny:
