KJ Orso Reportedly Set For WWE Tryout This Week

KJ Orso, the former Fuego Del Sol, is reportedly set for this week’s WWE tryouts which are set to take place around SummerSlam. Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed that Orso is in Minnesota ahead of this weekend and will be part of the tryouts.

Orso did not announce his involvement in the tryouts like many of the talent involved did. There’s no word at this time regarding why he did not.

Orso is best known for his time as Fuego Del Sol in AEW from 2020 to 2023. After leaving AEW, he dropped that character and his mask to play a heel persona. He has appeared for GCW and a number of other companies. He had a match on WWE Raw back in 2020, working as enhancement talent against Erick Rowan.

Orso joins a list of talent at the tryouts that includes MLW’s Josh Bishop, Titus Alexander, J-Rod, Colton Theron Vaught, Conan Lycan, Nigel Cawthon, Nicky Mariano, Ryan Meed, Josiah Jean, Oxx Adams, Brooke Havoc, Nate Prince, Bobby Casale, Kody Lane, Monica Monroe, Iris Reese, and Tayleigh Robertson. The tryouts are taking place over the week leading into WWE SummerSlam at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
