Australian wrestlers Matty Wahlberg and Steph De Lander have reportedly signed with WWE and will compete for the NXT brand, as revealed by PWInsider.
Wahlberg came into the pro wrestling scene in 2017 after training with Madison Eagles and NJPW’s Robbie Eagles. He is widely considered as one of the best wrestlers in Australia and even competed on their version of the TV Show Survivor in 2019. Wahlberg announced the move this past Friday after PWA Black Label’s ‘It Started Out With A Kiss’ event ended.
De Lander also came into the pro wresting scene around 2017 and was trained by Madison Eagles as well. She has been with PWA since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. De Lander reportedly attended WWE’s tryout back in 2019 at their UK Performance Center. Check out a pair of videos below featuring the newly signed duo.
