WWE's aggressive acquiring of talent from outside the company looks all set to continue, with the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reporting that some major international names are expected to attend the WWE Performance Center try-outs this coming September.

International is definitely the right word too, with Scottish-Israeli Noam Dar and Irishman Big Damo expected to join Dutchman Tommy End and American Moose at the try-outs.

All need to pass medicals first of course, but it is a clear sign that WWE is not going to hold back when it comes to signing some of the top talent outside of WWE. With any current NXT talents expected to make the jump to the main roster ahead of the 2016 brand split, WWE officials are keen to fill the developmental brand with experienced talent that is ready to tour, as opposed to the previous tactic of using athletes going through training at the Performance Center.

End and Moose have been rumoured for a while, and Dars position in the forthcoming Cruiserweight Classic seemed to hint at bigger things for him. Big Damo comes as more of a surprise, but it is hard to deny that the big guy is more than ready for the big leagues.
