WWE may have quietly added another second-generation talent to its pipeline, as Marie Malenko—daughter of wrestling legend Dean Malenko—is reportedly headed to the company.
According to a report from BodySlam+, Marie has officially signed with WWE following a recent tryout at the Performance Center in Orlando. The opportunity came shortly after she made her professional wrestling debut, marking a quick rise for the newcomer.
Marie’s first match took place under the Pro Wrestling NOAH banner, giving her an early international spotlight before stepping into WWE’s system. Not long after that debut, she participated in a tryout session at the Performance Center, where it appears she impressed officials enough to earn a deal.
As the daughter of Dean Malenko—one of the most technically respected wrestlers of his era—Marie enters WWE with a strong wrestling lineage behind her. Malenko himself remains a highly influential figure in the industry, known for his work in WCW, WWE, and ECW, as well as his role behind the scenes in recent years.
While there’s no word yet on when Marie could make her official on-screen debut, she will likely begin training full-time in NXT as she develops her in-ring style and character.
With WWE continuing to invest in both legacy talent and fresh prospects, Marie Malenko’s signing is another example of the company blending wrestling heritage with its next generation of stars.
