WWE officials are interested in several Lucha Underground talents and it was speculated by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that they may pitch contracts to some of those talents due to the long break between seasons. WWE reportedly wants around 5 Mexican talents including Matanza who is the current LU champion, Angelico, Drago, Aerostar and Fenix for the Global Series Cruiserweight tournament, which tapes right after the current season of Lucha Underground ends.
Top indie star Cedric Alexander is rumored for the WWE Global Cruiserweight Series tournament that takes place this summer. Alexander is not currently signed to ROH and recently had a WWE tryout. Regarding the tournament, it's expected that EVOLVE, Progress and Revolution Pro will be announcing their qualifying matches in the next week or two. Names confirmed so far are Rich Swann, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Zack Sabre Jr, Noam Dar, Ethan Page, Ho Ho Lun, Akira Tozawa, ACH, Adam Cole and Lince Dorado.
We've noted how WWE officials Canyon Ceman, Matt Bloom and William Regal attended some of the WWN Live events during WrestleMania 32 Week to scout talents. WWE had scouts at EVOLVE for Will Ospreay vs. Ricochet and Ospreay vs. Zack Sabre Jr. and one felt the match with Sabre was the best of the whole weekend. WWE also had a scout at one of the SHIMMER events and they were said to be most interested with California indie wrestler Nicole Savoy.
