WWE introduces RFK Jr’s niece as part of latest rookie class

Even after making cuts last Friday, WWE is always continuing to add young talent to the Performance Center, formally announcing four new would-be wrestlers on Wednesday as part of their latest rookie class.

One of those joining the fray is Zoe Hines, the niece of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

A college softball player who graduated from Boston College, Hines also competed for France’s national softball team in addition to its U22 program. She was part of last year’s tryouts during SummerSlam weekend and her uncle revealed earlier this year that she had signed a deal.

Hines joins three others:

  • Alyssa Daniele: She took part in January’s tryouts and has a past in modeling.
  • Garrett Beck: A lacrosse player for Grand Canyon University, Beck signed a WWE NIL deal nearly a year ago.
  • Nicholas Panicali: He is a former volleyball player for Sacred Heart University.

RFK Jr. reveals WWE signed his niece to a contract

WWE has signed the niece of polarizing political official Robert Kennedy Jr., revealed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary himself.

Speaking at the University of Florida’s College of Medicine Thursday, Kennedy was introducing U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon when he revealed Zoe Hines “recently signed a contract with WWE to become a wrestler.”

He then joked, “I’m really looking forward to knowing so many good doctors who can treat her after” before introducing McMahon whom he called a close friend.

Hines took part in last August’s SummerSlam tryouts. It’s unknown when she actually signed.

A college softball player who graduated from Boston College, she is the niece of actress Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) who is married to Kennedy. She also competed for France’s national softball team in addition to its U22 program.

Kennedy has been linked to Paul “Triple H” Levesque and Stephanie McMahon as part of the revived President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition.
