It is being reported that the WWE has signed a list of new talent recently. Cruiserweight Classic tournament competitors Raul Mendoza and Fabian Aichner have reportedly been signed, though that doesn’t mean they will be going directly to 205 Live.

German wrestler Axel Dieter Jr and former TNA wrestler Gunner are rumored to have been signed with the company as well.
Female talent Evie and Nixon Newell, who are names rumored to be part of the Mae Young Classic have signed with the company officially. With the women’s tournament to start filming soon, it is expected that many more names will be signed to the different brands.
