WWE tryout in Hawaii —

Along with the house show, WWE will hold a tryout in Hawaii. The company had a recruitment booth at a Hawaii fitness event arlier this summer.

“Prior to the live event, WWE will host a tryout at Blaisdell Arena, providing prospective talent the opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of WWE recruiters, coaches and executives,” WWE wrote. “Additional details on the event will be announced in the coming weeks.”

The most recent WWE event in Hawaii prior to this was a September 2019 house show that was headlined by Kofi Kingston defeating Daniel Bryan.
