Marie Malenko, Daughter Of Dean Malenko, Signs With WWE

Marie Malenko - the daughter of Dean Malenko and granddaughter of Boris Malenko - will be a part of WWE.

BodySlam has reported that Marie Malenko has signed with WWE after taking part in a tryout for the company at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida in February. Malenko wasn't expected to remain a free agent for long after Dean Malenko revealed earlier this month at an autograph signing that Marie signing with a promotion was in the works.

Marie Malenko hasn't been wrestling for long and she made her in-ring debut for Pro Wrestling NOAH only last month, competing in a three-way tag team match at a NOAH Monday Magic event on February 2.

Marie Malenko is WWE's latest signing of 2026. The company has already brought in Matt Cardona, Fahd Tuwaiq, Royce Keys, Danhausen, Ahmed Essam, Delia Schweizer, Ellen B. Akesson, Rayne Leverkusen, and Nikki Blackheart.

Dean Malenko has a long history with WWE, having wrestled for the company from 2000 to 2001 before he worked as a producer behind the scenes until 2019. Malenko is currently signed to AEW as a producer.
