We have learned that WWE has signed independent wrestler Kennadi Brink as a referee for the company.

The 25 year old Baltimore, Maryland native got her start in wrestling in July of 2010 when she started training regularly at Gillberg’s Professional Wrestling Academy in Severn, Maryland.

During her teens years, Jessie was overweight; never imagining of one day stepping into the ring herself. With courage, discipline, motivation and help from a local professional wrestler, who was signed to a developmental contract with the WWE, she was able to lose over 60 lbs and become an athlete.

As of late Brink has been wrestling for promotions such as MCW, SHIMMER, SHINE, and ROH, to name a few.

She is also the winner of the 2014 Reid Flair scholarship, presented at the Mid-Atlantic Legends fan-fest in Charlotte, North Carolina! The award was presented by legendary wrestler Dr. Tom Prichard. Prichard, Les Thatcher. Lance Storm and Nigel McGuinness and she was the one person out of 50 males and females to receive the award.

She worked as a referee for a few NXT events in March of this year when they toured Ocala and Jacksonville, Florida.
