Names For Latest WWE Tryout Revealed
WWE is holding its first tryout of the Endeavor era.
The takeover of WWE by Endeavor is now complete and as such, the unofficial hiring freeze that was in place in the company is now over. Former Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax has already returned and looks set to be joined imminently by former AEW star Jade Cargill. Creative plans are already being worked on in the company for Cargill but it remains uncertain if she’ll be joining NXT or heading straight to the main roster.
