New class of trainees welcomed to WWE Performance Center

The stars of the future could be closer than you think

WWE has welcomed its latest batch of potential Superstars to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

The WWE PC was opened back in 2013, and has been the hub for all things training in the company ever since. It was even the company's base of operations during the Covid-19 pandemic when they were unable to sustain their touring schedule. NXT even remained in the Performance Center long after pandemic restrictions were lifted. The building was also briefly known as the Capitol Wrestling Center.

Some of the biggest names in wrestling have walked the halls of the WWE PC, and the latest crop of talent has just been welcomed, as the company just announced on its website. The new signings feature athletes from a range of sports including football, competitive cross-fit, and amateur wrestling. Among them is MMA prospect Valerie Loureda. You can see the full list here.
