New details have emerged about who will be attending the WWE China tryouts this week.
The company will hold tryouts this week in Shanghai, which is the second-ever camp that WWE has hosted in China. The camp features 30 men and 10 women with athletes from China, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
WWE Performance Center Head Coach Matt Bloom is leading the tryout with help from fellow coaches Robbie Brookside, Serena Deeb and Johnny Moss.
These tryouts will have wrestlers run drills that could determine who they may want to potentially sign to a developmental deal and place in the NXT system where they would compete on the brand.
Talents who will be working the camp include the following names:
Jiang Zhu, a 6-foot-3, 227-pounder from China who has wrestled for Japan’s NOAH organization.
Champion boxer Peng Qu, who stands 6-foot-3, weighs 210 pounds and holds a 14-2-1 professional record.
Japanese wrestler Sojiro Higuchi, a protégé of former WWE Superstar Tajiri who competes under the name Jiro Kuroshio.
Alexis Lee, a 23-year-old who has been hailed as Singapore’s first female wrestler.
Yuan Gao, a star of China’s We Love Wrestling organization.
Singapore Pro Wrestling co-founder “The Statement” Andruew Tang.
The self-proclaimed “Queen of Philippine Wrestling” Vernice Crystal Gabriel.
