WWE Superstars come to the promotion from all kinds of backgrounds, with some having no wrestling experience before inking a contract. Danielle Sekelsky has proved her athletic skills for years as a professional cheerleader but now she’s ready to step into the squared circle. On Instagram, Sekelsky shared that she was part of the tryouts over WrestleMania week and now, she is officially a part of WWE.
Sekelsky previously worked as a cheerleader for the Tennessee Titans and is a former World Cheerleading Champion. WWE confirmed Sekelsky’s arrival on Twitter with photos of her alongside other recruits.
WWE’s Grappling Cheerleaders
Sekelsky isn’t the first cheerleader to make it to the squared circle. Before joining WWE in 2013, Carmella spent three seasons cheering for the New England Patriots (2008-10) and was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers dance team during the 2010-11 season.
Naomi may be best known for her time in WWE, but she was once part of both the Orlando Magic cheerleading squad and dance team. Maxxine Dupri is a former Phoenix Suns dancer and Los Angeles Rams cheerleader, a career that helped her get very familiar with performing in front of live fans.
