Three more wrestlers confirmed for upcoming WWE tryouts
Three more names have been confirmed for WWE’s upcoming tryouts.
WWE is holding tryouts in Orlando this week. Previously reported as attending are MMA fighter Regina Tarin, basketball player James Karnik, and strongman competitor Joshua Hillen.
Nor “Phoenix” Diana confirmed on social media that she has been invited to the tryouts. The 26-year-old from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia dropped the APAC Women’s title to Mercedes Moné at a House of Glory show in November and also attended Bayley’s Lodestone training camp last month.
Diana wrote:
“I’m grateful for the people who helped shape this journey, especially my coach @TheShaukat @apacwrestling, and the experience I gained at #LodestoneWrestling. I trust the work I’ve put in and the process that got me here.
Ready to give everything and earn my place. @wwerecruit“
Bayley responded to Diana’s post, “We believe in you!”
Natalya did as well, writing, “I hope it goes amazing for you”
Bhupinder Gujjar, formerly of TNA Wrestling and currently with Maple Leaf Pro, also confirmed on social media that he has been invited to the tryouts.
“New Year, New opportunity,” Gujjar wrote on X.
MLP founder Scott D’Amore wrote of Gujjar:
“I met Bhupinder within days of him moving to Canada. He is a class act and a quality person who contributed in @bcwonline, @ThisIsTNA, @MapleLeafPW, and every locker room he’s been in. If @WWE gives him a chance, he will be a valuable member of @WWENXT, @WWNEVOLVE, or wherever he lands.”
In 2022, Gujjar was voted TNA’s “One to Watch in 2023.” His contract expired at the end of 2024 and he did not return to the company after. He finished up at the tapings in Detroit on October 27, 2024. He teamed with Jack Price in a loss to Jake Something and Alex Hammerstone in his final match.
Independent wrestler Starboy Charlie also confirmed on his social media that he’s been invited to the tryouts.
Charlie has wrestled for promotions such as GCW, DEFY and Pro Wrestling NOAH. Along with Jack Banning and Titus Alexander, he lost to The Opps at the March 5, 2025 AEW Collision tapings in Sacramento.
