The class also includes WWE’s first acrobatics athlete, Bayley Humphrey from Baylor University, first baseball player, Adam Berghorst from Indiana State, and first male cheerleader, Slane Glover from Ohio State.

Released WWE Superstar praises Stephanie McMahon

Former star Top Dolla recently claimed that Stephanie McMahon was the nicest person he dealt with in the company.

Top Dolla was released in September following the company's merger with Endeavor to form the new entertainment company called TKO Group Holdings. The veteran took to social media to reveal that Stephanie was the nicest person in the company's "Front Office" that he worked with.

"Stephanie was consistently the nicest person in the “Front Office” I dealt with in my entire time in WWE," he posted.

WWE's product is the hottest it has been in years, and the company just added Randy Orton and CM Punk to weekly television. It will be interesting to see if any of the names listed above turn into household names down the line.
