Tessa Johnston Set to Participate in WWE Tryouts

Model and actress Tessa Johnston has confirmed she will participate in the upcoming WWE tryouts this week. She shared the news through Instagram, posting an official invitation graphic and revealing that camp begins Tuesday at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Johnston’s background in modeling and acting could position her as a crossover talent within WWE’s recruitment strategy. Several recruits from the entertainment, sports, and fitness industries have successfully transitioned into WWE programming after similar tryout invitations.

Her announcement comes as WWE continues to evaluate new prospects for its developmental system. Johnston also acknowledged wrestling trainer Warcorey for helping her learn foundational techniques ahead of the tryout, suggesting she has already begun preparing physically for the opportunity.

“she’s going to @wwe 👀🤭 camp begins on Tuesday 🤼‍♀️ @wwerecruit special s/o to @warcorey who gave me a few basics 💪🏽 #wwe #wwenxt #wrestling #wrestlinggirl #wweraw”

NXT is scheduled to broadcast live from the same facility on February 17, placing more attention on the Performance Center during the tryout window. Whether Johnston advances beyond the initial camp will depend on performance metrics and coaching evaluations in the days ahead.
