Having attended a WWE tryout back in December, former ROH Women's Champion Rok-C has reportedly been offered a contract by Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut.

Via the Wrestling Observer, Rok-C took part in another WWE tryout more recently. After that camp, the 20-year-old is said to have been offered a WWE deal. This comes on the back of some within WWE pushing for the company to sign Rok-C even before that first tryout.

It's not known at this stage whether Rok-C has accepted WWE's contract offer, although it is worth noting that the next batch of Performance Center recruits are due to be announced later this month.

Despite her young age, the real-life Carla Gonzalez has been wrestling for seven years already. Beginning her training aged just 13, Gonzalez would be taken under the wing of Booker T and his Reality of Wrestling promotion/wrestling school once she was 16. Her officially pro debut came in 2018, and last year saw Rok-C become the inaugural ROH Women's Champion - a title that she lost to Deonna Purrazzo on IMPACT Wrestling in January.

As for the name Rok-C, Gonzalez is a huge fan of The Rock. Taking that moniker and adding the first letter of her first name, that's where the grappler got Rok-C from.
