Summary

A new report says WWE has additional Performance Center recruits who have not been officially announced yet, with Nikki Blackheart and Marie Malenko named among them.

The update follows WWE's April 29 announcement of its April 2026 rookie class, which included Alyssa Daniele, Garrett Beck, Nicholas Panicali and Zoe Hines.

What This Means For WWE's Performance Center Class

Adding Nikki Blackheart and Marie Malenko would make WWE's latest Performance Center group larger than the company first revealed this week. It also suggests the April class may still be taking shape publicly even after the initial announcement was made.

For WWE, that kind of staggered rollout can leave room for more names to surface as the Performance Center continues building out its developmental system.
