Hold on to your butts, everyone, because it’s possible that WWE just signed your next favorite wrestler. WWE is gearing up for their all-women tournament early next year, and they’ve been heavily pursuing loads of incredibly talented, unsigned women from all over the globe. When former CHIKARA Grand Champion Kimber Lee popped up on Wednesday’s episode of NXT, it was only a matter of time before the other shoe dropped. Turns out it only took a day!
Squared Circle Sirens and Mike Johnson of PWInsider are reporting that WWE has signed Lee, Heidi Lovelace, and New Zealand star Evie to contracts. All three are expected to report to the Performance Center on January 3. Lovelace was part of the massive September Performance Center tryout camp that also included Eddie Kingston and Shayna Baszler. Evie had received her first tryout all the way back in August of 2014, and appeared on NXT television losing a squash match to Nia Jax in October of last year.
These are three fantastic signings and it’s time to start getting excited about all of them. If you’re not familiar with any of these women, get acquainted now with these highlight videos, so you can let everyone know you liked them before they were cool. (Psych, they’ve always been cool.)
