Just a few weeks after releasing a Filipino-American wrestler, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has signed another Pinoy.

WWE announced that it has signed Michael Paris to its NXT roster.

NXT has served as a developmental league for future WWE stars.

Paris, whose most recent ring name is DJ Z, is best known for his stint in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and has wrestled throughout the world.

The 33-year-old from Chicago was raised by a single Filipina mother from Pampanga.

The WWE has been making moves with its Pinoy wrestlers. Last month, WWE released TJ Perkins as Dave Bautista returned to the spotlight on Raw.

Bautista will be one of the headliners of next month’s Wrestlemania.
