WWE has published a photograph of its latest group of performance center signings, including Lance Anoa’i.
The 32-year-old is the son of Samu, a member of the Wild Samoans and The Headshrinkers in WWE. He is also a grandson of the late Afa, the Wild Samoan.
He competed in MLW along with Jacob Fatu and Juicy Finau as part of the new Samoan SWAT Team. He also made appearances for Pro Wrestling NOAH in 2023, including in the N-1 Victory Tournament.
Also shown in the photograph is boxer Evander Holyfield’s son Elijah Holyfield, Trill Williams, Zaria, La Sirenita, Cam Gagnon, among others.
Zaria already debuted on NXT television in October, while former NFL player Trill Williams appeared in the background of a segment on NXT this week.
Elijah Holyfield, 26, played college football for the Georgia Bulldogs and spent a short time in the NFL, most recently with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Several of the signees took to social media on Friday to confirm their presence in the photograph:
