WWE has reportedly added a new independent star to its roster, signing Nikki Blackheart to the company. Bodyslam+ reports that according to sources in the company, Blackheart has signed a deal with WWE and will report to the WWE Performance center sometime soon.
Blackheart was part of the WWE tryouts last month, and it was reported that the company was likely to sign her.
Bodyslam notes that WWE officials were very impressed with Blackheart and moved quickly after the tryouts to get her under contract. She lost the MPX Women’s Championship to Priscilla Kelly on Saturday,. In addition, Winnipeg Pro Wrestling announced on over the weekend that she would not be appearing at their Voyageur Cup shows on March 13th and 14th.
Blackheart has been in the business for just under two years and made her debut at CCW Breakout 37 in June of 2024. She has largely worked for Coastal Championship Wrestling out of Florida but has also worked matches for AAA, Athena’s Metroplex Wrestling, and 4th Rope Wrestling. She held the MPX Women’s Championship for just 29 days, having won it from Abadon at the 2026 MPX Texas Rumble on February 7th.
No word as of yet on exactly when Blackheart will be reporting to the PC.
