WWE Signs Three New Full-Time NXT Talents

Three new faces are officially part of WWE’s Performance Center system, and the next generation of NXT is starting to take shape.

According to PWInsider, Meghan Walker, Jessica Bognadov, and Cyrus Habibi-Likio have all signed full WWE developmental contracts and are now officially part of the NXT roster pipeline.

Meghan Walker

Meghan Walker is no stranger to WWE circles. The former track and field standout from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was previously part of WWE’s NIL program, but has now upgraded to a full Performance Center deal. She’s been seen attending major WWE events this year including WrestleMania, the Hall of Fame ceremony, and Money in the Bank. Walker was part of the same NIL class as Jacob Henry (Mark Henry’s son), Brock Rechsteiner (Scott Steiner’s son and Bron Breakker’s cousin), and TJ Bullard (Titus O’Neil’s son).

Jessica Bognadov

Jessica Bognadov brings a completely different background to the table. A Russian pole dancer and gymnast, Bognadov impressed during the SummerSlam week tryouts and has now landed a full developmental deal. Her unique athleticism could make her one of the most visually striking additions to the women’s division.

Cyrus Habibi-Likio

Also joining the class is Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who played running back for the Boise State Broncos and also participated in the SummerSlam tryouts earlier this year. His mix of size, agility, and football conditioning fits right into WWE’s ongoing trend of scooping up former collegiate athletes with serious upside.

All three signees are on full-time Performance Center contracts — not NIL deals or talent agreements on the fringes. That means they’re all expected to start training and developing for in-ring competition under the NXT system immediately.

With backgrounds ranging from NCAA track and field to pole dancing to Division I football, this trio adds serious variety to WWE’s developmental landscape.
