The application to participate in WWE’s upcoming Las Vegas tryout camp reveals unique details about what the company looks for in prospective recruits.
Earlier this month, WWE announced they would hold a multi-day talent tryout in Las Vegas as part of SummerSlam week, hoping to find “the next generation of Superstars”.
On Monday, WWE announced they were accepting applications by releasing a promo that featured Mandy Rose, who shares her pre-WWE resume, before inviting interested parties to apply at the link in the tweet.

When initially opened, the application asks for basic information before sending the applicant to the meat of the questionnaire. Included are basic questions on contact information and physical build, as well as questions on experience within wrestling.
Also included in the question set, however, are questions that ask the applicant to describe any acting and public speaking experience, their nearest airport city, if they have any military and/or athletic background, and if they speak any other foreign languages; all questions indicative of the type of person WWE looks for when choosing their next Superstar.
Applicants are also able to describe what type of background best fits their experience by choosing “athlete”, “wrestler”, “referee”, or “other”; indicating that WWE is not only considering wrestlers during the SummerSlam tryouts.
It’s well known that WWE considers themselves a “Sports Entertainment” company, rather that just a wrestling promotion. The tryout application confirms this by making allowances for those who have skills other than wrestling.
WWE’s invite-only Las Vegas tryouts are scheduled for SummerSlam week, from Wednesday, August 18 to Friday, August 20.
SummerSlam takes place Sunday, August 21st from Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
