New details have emerged regarding Nikki Blackheart’s recent WWE signing. According to Bryan Alvarez, the former independent wrestler previously worked as a cheerleader for the NHL’s Florida Panthers and trained under Gangrel before catching WWE’s attention shortly after WrestleMania 41 in 2025. Alvarez reported that Blackheart became one of WWE’s top recruitment targets and was heavily endorsed by Bayley ahead of her tryout earlier this year. Blackheart recently debuted in a dark match at the WWE Performance Center and has reportedly relocated to Orlando under a standard developmental contract believed to last around three years.

Malenko previously attended a WWE tryout earlier this year and has already gained experience wrestling in Japan for Pro Wrestling NOAH.
Meanwhile, Nicole Martinez was identified as independent wrestler Nikki Blackheart, who recently worked a dark match at NXT after reportedly becoming a major WWE recruitment target.
