John Cena has handpicked a rookie from former WWE star Rikishi’s Knox Pro wrestling school, to be given a WWE developmental contract.


Alex Jones, who was working on his masters in strength and conditioning at USC, attended a tryout camp back in August and received positive reviews from Jim Ross and Gerald Brisco. Cena then scouted him lifting weights at USC when Raw was in town, and took a liking to him.
