Television Personality Gabi Butler Signs With WWE

WWE is always on the lookout for signing young prospects to build the next generation of in-ring talent. The global juggernaut is known to sign various upcoming athletes, and now they have brought on board cheerleader and television personality Gabi Butler to their company.

Gabi Butler (full name Gabriella Butler) is a well renowned TV personality, YouTuber and cheerleader. She was recognized for her work nationally for appearing in the Netflix documentary series Cheer. She has also been a cheerleader for many teams such as California All Stars Smoed, Cheer Athletics Wildcats, and Gymtyme Blink. She most recently became a member of the Weber State University and the Navarro College cheer teams.

The long-time cheerleader seemed thrilled about signing with the WWE. She expressed her excitement towards the WWE after attending SummerSlam this summer, stating that she was blown ‘away.’ She spoke about signing a NIL (next in line) contract with the WWE on PEOPLE.com.

“I was blown away by what they put on. I was so involved in the cheerleading industry for so long, and I never really looked into anything other than cheerleading. But when I went to SummerSlam, it really just opened my eyes to the athleticism and the dedication the athletes bring into the ring.”
