Lexis King Shares Second-Generation Group Photo From WWE PC

Lexis King, the son of Brian Pillman, gave fans a glimpse of the next generation of WWE talent on Wednesday, August 12, sharing a photo taken at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. Posing alongside King in the picture were Aalyah Mysterio, daughter of Rey Mysterio; Marie Malenko, daughter of Dean Malenko; Uriah Connors, son of Fit Finlay; Avery Styles, son of AJ Styles; and Brooks Jensen.

King captioned the post with a playful nod to the ongoing “chair discourse” that has been a running bit within WWE’s developmental and social media circles recently, quipping that the group had “already set up the chairs.”

While the photo itself is lighthearted, it’s another reminder of just how many legacy names WWE currently has cycling through its pipeline. Between King, Mysterio, Malenko, Connors and Styles, the Performance Center roster reads like a who’s-who of wrestling bloodlines — a trend WWE has leaned into heavily over the past several years as it builds out NXT and its developmental system with recognizable surnames that carry built-in fan familiarity.

Lexis King himself has already made the jump to the main roster, having debuted under his real name Trey Bearhill before adopting the King persona, and he’s spoken openly about carrying forward his father’s legacy in the business. Aalyah Mysterio has been a visible presence in WWE storylines tied to the Mysterio family, while Avery Styles and Marie Malenko represent some of the newer arrivals training at the Performance Center as they look to follow their fathers into the ring. Uriah Connors, son of Fit Finlay, and Brooks Jensen round out a group that underscores how deep WWE’s talent pipeline now runs with familiar last names attached to fresh faces.

There’s no word yet on any of these performers being called up or given a specific push, and this remains, on its surface, simply a candid backstage snapshot. But moments like this tend to generate buzz precisely because of what they represent: a built-in audience curiosity about how these names will eventually be positioned once they debut on NXT television or beyond. WWE has shown a willingness in recent years to fast-track legacy talent into prominent storylines, so it’s worth keeping an eye on any of these Performance Center names as the year progresses.

For now, fans will have to settle for the group photo — chairs included — as a fun behind-the-scenes look at the talent WWE is grooming for the future.
