WWE Has Three Secret Signings Waiting To Be Announced

:wwe5:

Recent reports suggest that WWE signed Nikki Blackheart along with two other unannounced talents.

Bryan Alvarez reported to subscribers on X that Nikki Blackheart is a former Florida Panthers NHL cheerleader who trained under Gangrel and came onto WWE's radar after WrestleMania 41 in 2025. The report also claimed Bayley strongly endorsed her before a tryout.

Additionally, WWE's Performance Center recruit announcements have not listed any signee matching that description or background.

Blackheart recently made her WWE debut in a dark match taped at the WWE Performance Center on Tuesday. Her signing had been building over the past several months.

Per Bryan Alvarez’s update on X:

"Update on Nikki Blackheart and WWE: She is no longer an indie wrestler. She is a former cheerleader for the NHL Florida Panthers who trained under Gangrel. Right after Mania 2025 she ended up HEAVILY on WWE’s radar, said to be top five.

She was heavily praised by Bayley, so her tryout was basically a guarantee. That was this past February. She very recently moved to Orlando and is one of the few that have still yet to be officially announced by WWE, but all are officially in Orlando and under the typical starting PC/NXT contracts which are usually about three years."

Alvarez further reported that Blackheart is not the only recent signing WWE has yet to announce publicly.

"There are also three other names besides Nikki that have been signed but haven’t been announced by WWE yet."
