Full List of WWE Tryout Participants Revealed

Full List of WWE Tryout Participants Revealed – The complete list of talent taking part in WWE tryouts this week has now been revealed. WWE is holding the latest round of tryouts in Orlando, continuing its ongoing effort to identify potential new talent from a wide range of backgrounds.

This group features a strong mix of independent wrestlers, athletes from other sports, and several individuals with social media or entertainment experience. While WWE has recently focused more on recruiting from collegiate athletics and crossover talent, this set of tryouts includes a notable number of performers from the independent wrestling scene.

On the men’s side, Starboy Charlie is among the more recognizable names, having competed extensively on the independent circuit and appearing for GCW. Other independent wrestlers invited include Leon Lokombo, Jack Pasquale, Manny Lo, Blade Brown, Jariel Rivera, Tyler Jordan, Manny House, and Bruss Hamilton. Hamilton also brings a strong athletic background, having won the 2025 America’s Strongest Marine competition.

Several non-wrestling athletes are also involved. Ben Finneseth comes from college football, while James Karnik is a Canadian basketball player. Jeremiah Lakhwani adds a different profile entirely, as a social media influencer from Bali who previously competed on the Netflix reality series Physical: Asia. Bhupinder Gujjar, who has prior experience working for TNA, is another notable name in the group.

The women’s tryout list also blends wrestling experience with athletic and media backgrounds. Nor “Phoenix” Diana enters the process as an established independent wrestler who recently lost a championship to Mercedes Mone. Elli Finch represents track and field, competing at Michigan State. KJ Johnson brings a gymnastics background as a regional champion, while Regina Tarin comes from mixed martial arts in Mexico.

Additional participants include Casey Schaeoff, who has competed in basketball, lacrosse, and cross country, along with Sallie Grace, a social media sports influencer. Alyssa Daniele rounds out the list with experience as a vlogger and snowboarder.

WWE has not regularly featured large groups of independent wrestlers in tryouts since 2022. However, past tryouts during SummerSlam weekend did include independent talents such as LJ Cleary and Ben Bishop. This week’s sessions suggest WWE may once again be casting a wider net as it evaluates future additions to its roster.
