PWInsider’s Mike Johnson (via F4WOnline.com) that two other athletes have been signed to Performance Center contracts. They include Russian pole dancer and rhythmic gymnast Jessica Bogdanov and American college football player Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who played as a Running Back for the Boise State Broncos.
Both prospective talents previously took part in the WWE tryouts during SummerSlam Weekend earlier this year. They were reportedly signed to developmental deals.
Bogdanov has 142,000 followers on Instagram, which can be viewed HERE. Cyrus Habibi-Likio has 127,000 followers on the platform.
Habibi-Likio also released a video documenting his being scouted by WWE for the tryout and his training to prepare for the process. The video reveals that his journey started after attending WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas earlier this year, and a video he posted at the event received five million views.
In October, Habibi-Likio also documented his training for his tryout at the Oasis Wrestling School. He trained with Journeyy Fatu, who is the brother of WWE Superstar Jacob Fatu. Those clips are available below:
