Names Revealed for WWE’s Latest Performance Center UK Tryout

WWE rolled into the UK for its latest round of tryouts—and if you were in the building, it was clear who stole the show.

The company hosted its European tryout on March 29 at WWE’s Performance Center in the UK, and Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan dropped the list of names who laced up and showed out. Among the prospects: Rhio, Goldenboy Santos, Zozaya, Man Like DeReiss, Luke Jacobs, Bionic (of Gladiators), Nathan Angel, Rayne Leverkusen, Danny Jones, Adam Maxted, and athletes like Yago Rivera from outside pro wrestling.

But it was Man Like DeReiss who had the room talking. According to the report, he “received heavy praise from WWE’s representatives at the event” for his standout performance. That’s no small feat when you’re surrounded by a room full of hopefuls clawing for attention.

The tryout included standard drills, promo classes, and initial in-ring evaluations. More tryout matches are expected to go down tomorrow, as WWE continues to scout talent across Europe.

With WWE doubling down on its global expansion, don’t be shocked if some of these names show up on NXT UK—or beyond—sooner than later.
