As previously reported, multiple wrestlers recently confirmed their WWE tryout invitations, including Ricky South, Valentina Rossi, Fallyn Grey, The Dropouts, and Promise Braxton. Fightful Select has an update with more details on the upcoming tryout sessions.
According to the report, the WWE’s next round of tryouts happens this week, kicking off today (Feb. 17). Wrestlers are now said to be in Orlando to get their medical physicals done. Once those are squared away, they will continue their tryouts during the week.
Fightful notes that while recent tryouts have had a heavy emphasis on indie wrestling talent, it’s said that there will still be some attendees at this week’s sessions who don’t have previous wrestling experience.
Additionally, Fightful notes that it could still be a while before information emerges on who was signed from last month’s tryout sessions, as we’re still in the process of learning about wrestlers who were signed from the SummerSlam tryouts that took place in August 2025. So, it might be a while before that information surfaces.
However, Fightful also reports that some wrestlers from last month’s tryouts were told they wouldn’t be signed. One of the names who reportedly signed with WWE is Rayne Leverkusen. Fightful reports that more signings from Europe are also expected to be on the way soon.
