Gladiators Star Works WWE Tryouts

WWE are currently in the UK as part of their pre-WrestleMania European tour, with try-outs taking place for prospective potential WWE talents.

The tryouts have been held in WWE’s UK Performance Centre on March 29 and March 30, with a host of names for the UK and European independent scenes believed to have intended, including a face familiar to fans of TV show Gladiators. Per a report from Fightful Select, Gladiators star Bionic was one of several names who attended the tryouts, alongside others such as Rhio, Luke Jacobs, Adam Maxted, and others from outside the independent wrestling world including European League Footballer Yago Rivera.

Per the report, Man Like DeReiss received particular praise during the March 29 session, with the first session consisting of standard drills, promo class, and the first tryout matches, with more tryout matches said to have taken place on the March 30 session.

WWE often run these sort of tryouts whenever they tour. In the case of Gladiator Bionic, they will surely be hoping to follow in the footsteps of SmackDown General manager and former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion nick Aldis, with Aldis having originally performed as a Gladiator himself early in his career.
