We had to do our own research on them, but this afternoon (March 11) WWE welcomed some newly signed developmental talent to the roster at their Performance Center Orlando, Florida.
- Ahmed Essam Samy Twfiq: a mixed martial artist and pro wrestler from Egypt who took part in WWE’s tryouts in the United Kingdom last year.
- Ellen Akesson: a champion arm wrestler and powerlifter from Sweden who is an active presence as EllenViking on Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch.
- Rayne Leat: an indie wrestler from the UK known as Rayne Leverkusen, Leat was the MVP of last year’s SummerSlam tryouts.
- Delia Schweizer: a German CrossFit athlete who kind of looks like a sculpted blend of Sol Ruca and Nikkita Lyons
No word on where any of the four will start out. It’s interesting the introduction talks about nothing but NXT; for that reason we’d be surprised if these folks start on Evolve, but something like LFG could still be a possible.
Let us know what you think — about any of these signees, or their first steps in WWE — in the comments below.
