A new generation tied to WWE history could soon be stepping into the spotlight, as the son of Tatanka is preparing for a major opportunity.
Joseph, the son of the longtime WWE veteran, is scheduled to receive an official WWE tryout during SummerSlam 2026 weekend. The event is set to take place in Minneapolis this August, making it a significant moment for the family as the company evaluates new talent.
Tatanka shared the news publicly through social media, expressing pride in both of his sons and highlighting their athletic accomplishments leading up to this opportunity. Alongside Joseph, his younger brother Jeremiah is also being recognized for his achievements, although he is not yet eligible for a tryout due to his age.
“So proud of our boys! There’s nothing you both can not accomplish! From visiting at a PPV with The Usos and Superstars of the WWE years ago to now training at the Dungeon 2.0 where Joseph has received an official try-out at SUMMERSLAM and Jeremiah will be right behind him since he’s only 17 years old currently. Joseph, an elite football player and State Runner Up in Powerlifting and Jeremiah as a Sophomore has accomplished winning a State Championship and 3X National Championship in Wrestling! As WWE stated, exactly what they’re looking for!
The Legacy Continues and A Dynasty Is Being Established With THE FIRST BLOODLINE! Official Members of the #575 th Federally Recognized Tribe in the US, The Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina!”
Joseph’s background as a high-level football player and accomplished powerlifter aligns with WWE’s ongoing focus on recruiting elite athletes from various sports. His combination of size, strength, and athletic pedigree could make him a strong candidate as the company continues to build its future roster.
Meanwhile, Jeremiah’s success in amateur wrestling, including a state championship and multiple national titles, suggests that the family’s presence in the sport could extend even further in the years ahead.
WWE has increasingly leaned into recruiting second-generation talent, and Joseph’s tryout during SummerSlam weekend places him in a high-profile setting where many prospects look to make a lasting impression.
