The WWE Performance Center tryouts were specifically looking for international talents, including those who can speak Spanish. Beyond Uhaa Nation and Puerto Rican talent Sebastian Guerra, it was all bodybuilders and athletes from outside of the wrestling realm. There were talents from as far as Russia and The Netherlands. We are told that Nation really turned a lot of heads and some of the developmental talents expected to hear he was signed.
Some of the WWE NXT talents were seen at the ROH TV taping in Lakeland, FL last week.
