WWE will hold the first tryout of the year next week to recruit future talents for the company. The tryouts will take place at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Although the company usually does not disclose the names of the participants, some of them have been revealed, in part thanks to reports published by specialized media such as Fightful Select and PWInsider.

One of the names that stands out the most is Bphupinder Gujjar, a regular talent in Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, better known for his appearances in TNA Wrestling. Gujjar himself announced his participation on social media, with Scott D'Amore wishing him luck. Trained at D'amore's BCW Can-Am Wrestling School and The Great Khali's CWE Academy, Gujjar has six years of experience in the business.

Bruss Hamilton is another independent scene wrestler confirmed to be part of the tryouts. Born in the United States, Hamilton has been trained at The Black And Brave Academy, led by Seth Rollins and Marek Brave. With only two years of experience in the business, Hamilton has already accumulated nearly a hundred matches in the independent scene.

As usual, the company has also invited athletes with no previous experience in professional wrestling. In this sense, college athletes Joshua Hillen and James Karnik, and Mexican MMA fighter Regina Tarin will be part of the tryout.

Two other names that have been prominent in recent days are Airica Demia and Norotious Mimi. Both wrestlers have been training this past week at Nattie Neidhart's (Natalya) and TJ Wilson's Dungeon 2.0. With only two years of experience in the business, Demia has already competed for a multitude of promotions, including STARDOM.
