WWE has introduced its latest recruitment class at the Performance Center, including several notable names from the independent scene.
The company posted the announcement of the arrival of Jaime Garcia, Mike Derudder, Dusan Novaković, Cyril Coquerelle, and Nathan Cranton.
Garcia is better known by his alias ‘Zozaya’ and hails from Spain while beginning his career in 2018. The 23-year-old began his career wrestling for Progress Wrestling and has traveled extensively, wrestling for CMLL, Pro Wrestling NOAH, and becoming a regular for RevPro in the U.K.
Coquerelle is 27 years old and is the unmasked Aigle Blanc. The French-born wrestler began his career over a decade ago and became a European standout with wXw, and toured with All Japan Pro Wrestling. He had wrapped up his outside dates at the end of August as he was WWE-bound.
Derudder is 29 years old and wrestled as Mike D Vecchio. He is originally from Belgium with twelve years of experience, including wXw, Progress Wrestling, RevPro, and was part of this past year’s Champion Carnival tournament for AJPW.
Novaković is from Serbia, with one pro MMA fight in 2023, where he submitted Aleksandar Djordjević in twenty-three seconds on an ACF card.
Cranton is the youngest member of the class at 22 and is from the U.K., who gained attention participating in beauty pageants. He wrestled as Nathan Angel before signing with WWE.
