The Rascalz headline WWE’s latest Performance Center class
Two out of three anyway. Trey’s absence is the most notable, though.
WWE announced their latest Performance Center class this afternoon (Dec. 2), and it includes the names rumored to be signing with the company. That includes former Impact stars The Rascalz, but not all three of them.
Trey Miguel is not with Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz in the group. We heard reports AEW was also bidding for Miguel’s services, so keep an eye on that.
Missing from the class is Ben Carter. That may be a COVID travel or Visa issue, since we heard his signing was pretty much a done deal. Still, his status may also bear watching.
Here’s WWE’s roll call for their latest recruits:
Deveon Everheart Aiken, better known to fans as Dezmond Xavier, brings a dazzling array of aerial offense to the PC. Aiken, a nine-year-veteran of the squared circle, has competed for promotions including Combat Zone Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and Impact Wrestling.
Zachary Green, aka Zachary Wentz, is a frequent tag team partner of Aiken’s. The 26-year-old Ohio native is also a former MMA fighter.
Alex Brandenburg competed under the name Alex Zayne on the independent scene. The Kentucky native has made a name for himself in promotions like Game Changer Wrestling, Black Label Pro and Ring of Honor during his 15-year career.
Sojiru “Ikemen” Higuchi is a 26-year-old wrestler from Japan who was trained by former United States and WWE Tag Team Champion Tajiri, and he has competed for Wrestle-1 and All-Japan Pro Wrestling.
Twenty-three-year-old Georgia native Anriel Howard played college basketball at Mississippi State and Texas A&M. She was selected in the 2019 WNBA Draft, and played professionally for the Seattle Storm.
Russ Taylor of Phelan, Calif. brings plenty of global experience to the WWE PC. Taylor has competed for wXw in Germany, as well as in Japan and across the United States.
