It looks like WWE could be recruiting some more talent soon, as the company announced that they’ve invited dozens of men and women to the WWE Performance Center for tryouts this week.
There were some interesting names taking part in the tryouts such as Seini Draughn, better known to TNA fans as Lei’D Tapa. Lance Anoa’i, the 24 year old son of Headshrinker Samu, and grandson of WWE Hall of Famer Afa the Wild Samoan was also in attendance.
Terron Beckham, cousin of Odell Beckham Jr. and former NFL player Isaiah Stanback were also revealed to be part of the tryouts.
NFL stars and wrestlers aren’t the only ones at the tryouts. Combat athletes Eduard Soghomonyan is getting a shot, as well as Katsiaryna “Katya” Kavaleva, a 6 foot 5 kickboxer from Belarus.
WWE also noted that ten year wrestling veteran Lindsay Duncan, aka Nicole Matthews and nationally ranked power lifter Spencer Charette received tryouts as well.
One thing’s for sure, WWE shows no signs of slowing down in regards to acquiring talent.Of course NXT has become the go-to brand for stars looking to make a name for themselves over the past few years and he company recently expanded their reach with the United Kingdom Championship tournament. It’s rumored that there are plans in place to hold more international tournaments which could lead to more stars joining the company.
Remember, Lei’D Tapa is the neice of The Barbarian.
