WWE has been signing tons of new additions to the NXT roster lately as part of the new UK division, as well as the regular edition of the roster. There have been a lot of rumors and reports pointing to certain talents signing with WWE, and the company just recently hosted a tryout session at the Performance Center for any aspiring athletes to take part in. The company has indeed been signing more new stars to the roster, and several names have just been confirmed as the newest members of the NXT roster. Through the Instagram stories on the official NXT account, WWE has just announced their next class of signees, all of whom have just now started working for the company in Orlando today.
