According to BodySlam+, sources within WWE have reported that independent star Nikki Blackheart has signed a new deal with the company and is set to report to the WWE Performance Center soon. The report indicated that WWE officials were very impressed with Blackheart and moved quickly to secure her contract after the tryouts last month.
While there is no specific date yet for when Blackheart will start training at the Performance Center, updates will be provided as they become available.
Blackheart has been in the wrestling business for just under two years, making her debut at CCW Breakout 37 in June 2024. She has primarily worked for Coastal Championship Wrestling in Florida but has also competed in matches for AAA, Athena’s Metroplex Wrestling, and 4th Rope Wrestling. She held the MPX Women’s Championship for just 29 days, having won it from Abadon at the MPX Texas Rumble on February 7, 2026.
Recently, she lost the MPX Women’s Championship to Priscilla Kelly. Additionally, Winnipeg Pro Wrestling announced over the weekend that Blackheart would not be appearing at their Voyageur Cup shows on March 13 and 14.
