As previously reported, WWE signed NIL athlete Meghan Walker to an updated performance center contract after initially signing her under an NIL deal earlier in the summer. Now, it appears that two more athletes have joined her.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com (via F4WOnline.com), the new signings include Jessica Bogdanov, a Russian pole dancer and rhythmic gymnast, and Cyrus Habibi-Likio, an American college football player who played as a running back for the Boise State Broncos. The report also mentioned that both athletes participated in WWE tryouts during SummerSlam weekend earlier this year and have now signed developmental deals.
Habibi-Likio previously released a video documenting his experience of being scouted by WWE for the tryout and training to prepare for the process. His journey began after attending WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas earlier this year. In October, he also shared videos of his training at the Oasis Wrestling School, where he worked with Journey Fatu, the brother of WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu.
