It was reported earlier this week that WWE held another round of tryouts at the WWE Performance Center. The tryouts come right after WWE held a session of tryouts in Chile, and the company is also said to be in the process of signing several wrestlers from the indies right now as well. PWInsider were the first to report that Olivia Hasler (aka independent wrestler Penelope Ford) took part in the tryouts, as did Ultimate Fighter competitor Eric Spicely, bikini competitor Courtney Lemmings, and former football player Tehuti Miles. A ton of other names also went down to the PC in Orlando to prove that they had what it takes to be a WWE Superstar. The following list from WWE excludes the aforementioned Hasler, Spicely, Miles, and Lemmings.

Expect to see some of the current titleholders in WWE lose their gold as soon as this Sunday night. WWE’s TLC pay-per-view this weekend has six different championship matches as of right now, and half of those titles will be changing hands. According to a report from Cageside Seats, the belief is that there will be three title changes during the show. The WWE Championship, Raw Women’s Championship, SmackDown Women’s Championship, Intercontinental Championship, Cruiserweight Championship, and SmackDown Tag Team Championships are set to be defended during TLC. It is unclear which titles will be changing hands, so be sure to tune in and watch TLC on the WWE Network to find out the answer.
