WWE recently signed a slew of new talent that they hope to mold in the next several years in NXT. One of those stars is Keith Lee, who has done work for promotions such as Ring of Honor, EVOLVE and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG). Lee also wrestled for WWE at WrestleMania Axxess when he defeated NXT star Kassius Ohno.

Another talent signed by the company is Io Shirai, who worked for Stardom and is widely regarded as one of the best female wrestlers in the world. One familiar face that WWE has worked with several times over the past few years is Deonna Purrazzo. She has worked for ROH, IMPACT and Stardom as well. Purrazzo was also used on RAW a few weeks ago as she was squashed by Nia Jax during a Ronda Rousey segment.

WWE not only signs established professional wrestlers, but they also go after promising professional athletes. WWE signed Stacey Ervin Jr., boyfriend of U.S Olympian Simone Biles, an extremely talented gymnast who was working for a U.S. wrestling promotion.

Finally, WWE also signed two Rugby stars, Daniel Vidot and Luke Menzies. Menzies worked as an independent wrestler in the United Kingdom for a brief amount of time before being signed by WWE.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that these men and women are expected to start with WWE in July.
