Why do I mention this? Because a name that was not brought up in these sheets was Madi Wrenkowski, who just signed to WWE.

Maybe recently, but it still straddles a line of credibility, since there are times where WWE would "express interest" in someone you wouldn't think. Like, for every Brock Lesnar that would be obvious, you get a few Miz-es that aren't. And I don't mean that as a knock on Miz. I just mean you'd expect them to look at/for NCAA athletic standouts (not neccessarily wrestlers, but...) that they can exploit the talent crossover easily or indy talent with the right amount of buzz that isn't buzz about WWE so they aim to fix that. This has been a thing before AEW, and continue to be one if Tony gets bored and folds tents.
Also also, sometimes you end up with a situation like Shinsuke Nakamura, where nobody
really believed it until he was in a signee photo with Triple H... because nothing about Nak's station in NJPW, WWE's attitude about "small", foreign wrestlers, and stars they themselves didn't "create" would historically tell you otherwise.
There may be those that can and prob'ly should play the politik long-con to more money. But other times, it is what it is. Last woman I heard anything about in that way was Nikki Cross after her SWA sessions and Lance putting her over. I have zero idea who this Madi is, but she looks like someone who would easily fall into the WWE Name Generator and pressed into a middling gimmick that gets more attention than it deserves because she's "new" and "hot".
