Last week, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announced that they have signed 15 new talents, with numerous different athletes being a part of the company’s Fall 2022 intake that will be headed to the WWE Performance Center.
The new group of signees fits WWE‘s mold of what they’re doing with their developmental system, choosing prospects without any experience of professional wrestling that they can create into television stars. Involved in this new batch of WWE signings are former football players, track and field stars and cheerleaders as well.
