Big Indie Name & Ex-UFC Fighter Set For WWE Tryouts This Week
WWE's latest Performance Center class takes shape as signing blitz continues.
WWE will hold their latest set of talent tryouts at the Performance Center later this week (Wednesday 12 December), and PWInsider have the scoop on four names confirmed for this batch of potential recruits.
The most notable is Penelope Ford. Currently one of the most prominent women's wrestlers on the independent circuit, she regularly competes for the likes of GCW, NOVA Pro, and CHIKARA. Ford also serves as Joey Janela's valet, and played a considerable role in the daredevil's electric ALL IN match with Hangman Page.
Former UFC middleweight Eric Spicely is also set to test his mettle, having been released from that promotion in August. Though new to the sport, the 32-year-old has already competed for Beyond Wrestling, and now looks to follow in the footsteps of Matt Riddle, Shayna Baszler, and others in changing sports.
Also confirmed are Courtney Lemmings, a 22-year-old model, actor, and bodybuilder, as well as former Maryland Football player Tehuti Miles, who has been through the tryout process before.
With ACH, Jonah Rock, and more joining the Performance Center in January, 2019 looks set to be a hectic year for WWE recruitment. Let's see if Ford, Spicely, and co. make the cut.
