Last November, WWE announced the signing of three prospects from its tryouts at SummerSlam 2025. Only one has made it onto our screens — Cyrus Habibi-Likio, who now works as Kai Kavari and has done a handful of jobs on Evolve. But all have been active early in their WWE Developmental careers, with both Jessica Bogdanov, who’s calling herself Jessica the Unknown, and Meghan Walker, who’s still working under her shoot name, active on pre-NXT dark matches and the so-called Coconut Loop of small Florida
house shows.
Jessica is a former rhythmic gymnast and pole dancer, and has given herself a makeover to match her mysterious new moniker…
She’s also used one of those dark matches to make a big impression on the wrestle web. On her Instagram Story, The Unknown posted a clip from her match with Skylar Raye before NXT this past Tuesday (June 16). In it… well, I’m not entirely sure how to describe it. When Raye grabs a wristlock while both wrestlers are standing in the center of the ring, Jessica does a 360º front kick that serves as essentiall a one-legged front flip that untwists her left arm and perfectly positions her to blast her opponent on the chin with a right elbow.
Words don’t really do it justice, though. It wowed many as it spread around social media. This one’s racked up more than 1.2 million views and counting since Wednesday.
When The Unknown — which is a dope name, by the way — makes it onto our screens, she could make quite a splash. In addition to the intriguing name, she’s got a cool look and a potentially amazing moveset (sorry Phil).
