Meet WWE's 10 Newest Superstars
Well, it's always incredibly exciting for the WWE Universe when WWE announces new signings - and, as per Wrestling Inc, nine are set to be confirmed very soon as the Performance Center's new recruits.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news and rumors.
The previous intake saw stars such as Matt Riddle, Mia Yim and Punishment Martinez, as well as a seven-foot-three basketball player and "The Samoan Ghost" (you can read about all of those here) so the newest intake has a lot to live up to!
Now, we should say there are three names who won't be on this list but are expected to sign with WWE very soon and be on the next intake for the Performance Centre. Those three stars are Shane Strickland, Kushida and Garza Jr, with the latter reportedly being given a second chance at medical evaluations after being denied a contract last year - much like NXT UK's Jazzy Gabert.
The ten stars on this list (one of which is a tag team who have appeared on RAW) will all begin life as WWE Superstars by training at the incredibly impressive WWE Performance Center in preparation for life in the squared circle as a touring WWE Superstar. All ten will debut on NXT initially, with some already being no stranger to a WWE - at least temporarily - previous to this.
While some of them are no stranger to the squared circle and would definitely go under the "familiar faces" category as opposed to up and coming unknown prospects, there's no doubt these seven stars form a very exciting group for the WWE Universe.
So, who are they? Sportskeeda has you covered. Here's some need-to-know info on WWE's newest recruits.
#9 Trevor Lee
Okay, so one name that may not come as a huge surprise to anyone familiar with independent wrestling or this month's news is Trevor Lee. After confirming that he'd left Impact Wrestling and had become a free agent at the turn of the year, Lee recently announced at CWF Mid Atlantic that he was no longer a free agent and had indeed signed with WWE, to chants of "You deserve it."
The 25-year-old is most known for wrestling in Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Impact Wrestling. In Impact, he is a three-time Impact X Division Champion and one-time TNA World Tag Team Champion - holding the titles with Brian Myers, also known as WWE's Curt Hawkins.
Lee was trained by Matt and Jeff Hardy and had been wrestling with Impact since 2015 before becoming a free agent and his final match in Impact Wrestling was on December 31st vs Johnny Impact. Lee was written off of television immediately after on January 3rd when Killer Kross punched a concrete block through his face.
