Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Comments on His Niece Zoe Hines Joining WWE

As previously reported, Zoe Hines, the niece of United States Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was named as a new rookie recruit for WWE earlier this week. RFK Jr. has since commented on his niece’s signing (see below).

He wrote earlier today, “My niece Zoe Hines just joined the pantheon of WWE wrestlers!” As noted, Hines is a former softball player.

Additionally, Dave Meltzer claimed on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE was “politically forced” into signing Hines, indicating from backstage sources that Hines was not impressive during her WWE tryout last August during SummerSlam.
