The athlete intake process will see athletes go through rigorous performance, body composition, nutrition, and physical therapy testing. The baseline developed for the athletes will enable customized and fully integrated plans to ensure a foundation for optimized training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExos is thrilled to team up with the WWE in an effort to meet its next generation of athletes on their journey in order to ensure success &#8211; physically and mentally &#8211; and continuity of care,\u201d says Exos CEO Sarah Robb O\u2019Hagan.<\/p>\n<p>WWE launched its \u201cNext In Line\u201d program last December and currently has 25 active athletes with NIL partnerships. Three athletes from the inaugural class have joined the company following their graduation from school and have started training full-time at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla. The next class will be announced in early 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the \u201cNext In Line\u201d program and WWE\u2019s recruitment process at <a href=\"https:\/\/recruit.wwe.com\/#!\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.wwerecruit.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> WWE continues to invest heavily in its NIL program.
