WWE recently announced that two new Superstars are set to make their debuts on this week's episode of 205 Live. First, we will see Ikemen Jiro team with August Grey to battle Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari. We will also see Ari Sterling take on Samir Singh in Singles action.
Ikemen Jiro and Ari Sterling were previously announced as members of the WWE Performance Center Class last December 2020, which is the exact same group that featured NXT Tag Team Champions MSK as well as NXT Superstar Tyler Rust.
Prior to signing with WWE, Ikemen Jiro was known as Sojiru “Ikemen” Higuchi. He was trained by former WWE Star Tajiri and has competed for promotions such as AJPW and Wrestle-1 in Japan. Ari Sterling, on the other hand, (Alex Brandenburg) was known as Alex Zayne on the independent scene. He’s been on the indie scene and has been wrestling for 15 years and has worked for promotions like ROH, GCW and Black Label Pro.
