Tue Dec 17 11:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Nebraska Track Star Meghan Walker Possibly Headed to WWE NXT

**Stamford, CT** – University of Nebraska track and field star Meghan Walker is generating significant buzz after being spotted at WWE headquarters this week. The visit, part of WWE’s “Next In Line” NIL program, fuels speculation that Walker is poised to join WWE NXT, the company’s developmental brand.

Walker, who boasts an impressive track record including contributions to several record-setting relay teams and personal bests in the 200m and 400m, fueled the rumors herself with a social media post featuring her in WWE gear. The post quickly went viral, garnering over 180,000 views.

Walker was among several elite college athletes participating in the “Next In Line” program, which aims to recruit top athletes from diverse backgrounds into professional wrestling. Other athletes participating included Grace Stephens, Momen Zahid, Adam Berghorst, and Skyla Schulte.

While neither WWE nor Walker has confirmed a signing, the prospect of the highly athletic and increasingly popular track star joining NXT has ignited excitement among wrestling fans. If she signs, Walker would follow in the footsteps of other successful athletes who have transitioned to professional wrestling through WWE’s NIL program. The program has proven successful in helping college athletes make the leap to the world of sports entertainment.
