Overview
- WWE announced a seven-person 2026 Performance Center rookie class that lists Cara Brown, Katie Reynolds, Aalyah Gutierrez, Zoë Sager, Ana da Silva, Jackson Goonrey, and Tyran Tuckey.
- The company’s announcement confirms Gutierrez — known on WWE programming as Aalyah Mysterio and daughter of Rey Mysterio — as part of the intake for developmental training.
- Multiple outlets report Gutierrez began training earlier this year and reportedly signed with WWE last month, but those contract details were described in coverage as reported rather than fully detailed by WWE.
- The other recruits bring varied experience, including a former TNA referee, a WWE ID alum who has had NXT dark matches, a three-time Brazilian national track champion, and an Australian tag team known as “The Dropouts.”
- The Performance Center is WWE’s development hub for in-ring work, conditioning, and character work, so recruits typically go through training and NXT appearances before any main-roster debut which has not been scheduled for Gutierrez.
