Report: WWE Developmental Holds Tryout For Indy Stars

By Justin LaBar

WWE NXTPWInsider.com reports WWE recently held a tryout down at NXT.

The tryout was described as intense and several injuries occurred. Injuries occurred but it seems a lot of those injuries were from guys who weren't dedicated wrestlers but guys who walked in thinking they were tough.

Some notable indy names who were at the tryout—ROH TV Champion Adam Cole, Mike Bennett, DGUSA's Samuray del Sol, Ricky Reyes, Northeastern wrestler Smith James and Luke Hawx who has been wrestling on the Extreme Rising shows.

Any contracts or follow up from the tryout are expected to come in the next 2-4 weeks.
