WWE has added four new female recruits to its roster, and they’re already making moves in Orlando. The company has signed Gabriela Martinez Asensi, Silvia Likki, Elly Finch, and Tayleigh Robertson, bringing in athletes from several different sports as they begin their professional wrestling careers.
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, all four women signed with WWE and relocated to Orlando, Florida, within the past week. Each participated in WWE tryouts before earning a contract and joining the company’s Performance Center.
Gabriela Martinez Asensi comes from Spain and has a background in collegiate tennis. She previously played for the University of Missouri and is fluent in Spanish, English, and German. She also works as a fitness coach and has built a substantial social media following through her Instagram account.
Silvia Likki is another recruit with an established social media presence. The Italian CrossFit athlete has more than 200,000 Instagram followers and brings a background in strength and conditioning to WWE. She has shared her fitness journey through her Instagram page.
Elly Finch is also joining the company after competing in track and field at Michigan State University. PWInsider was the first to break the news of her signing earlier this week, before Alvarez confirmed the additional recruits. Finch can be found on Instagram.
Rounding out the group is Tayleigh Robertson, who has experience in amateur wrestling and bodybuilding. She attended Snow College and Utah Tech, giving her a competitive sports background before making the jump to WWE. Her Instagram account offers a look at her athletic background.
The four signings show WWE continuing to recruit athletes from outside professional wrestling. With backgrounds ranging from tennis and track and field to CrossFit and amateur wrestling, all four will now have the opportunity to develop their skills at the Performance Center.
There is no word yet on when any of these recruits will make their WWE television debuts, but they’ve already taken the first major step by signing contracts and moving to Orlando. Now they’ll have to prove they can turn their athletic experience into success inside a wrestling ring.
