The recent SummerSlam tryouts may be the last time WWE uses this idea to scout new talent after several reported injuries.
The tryouts, which took place this week, saw several athletes showcase their skills in the hopes of earning a WWE contract.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez said that the recent tryouts are being called a “disaster” due to the amount of injuries.
“The word is this is the last time that this is going to happen. They are not getting rid of the NIL program, but the idea of the NIL program — the point of this is that there were a lot of injuries at this set of tryouts. Concussions, there were a lot of people who got hurt. It was the blind leading the blind.
“I heard a lot of injuries and a lot of them, quite frankly, sucked. I don’t want to put a lot of words in people’s mouths, but the last I heard was that it was a disaster.”
There’s no word yet on who WWE plans on signing from the most recent set of tryouts.
