With WWE’s Campus Rush tour concluding soon, ABC Action News reports at least one name has earned a development deal. Bodybuilder Melanie Brzezinski participated in WWE’s tryouts at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL and is quoted as saying that joining WWE was her primary objective. Former WWE Champion Big E. was on hand to evaluate talent, which also included former USF football player Darien Grant.
Said Brzezinski, “I got a personal trainer back in July, and I said to him that I have one goal and one goal only. That is to get into the WWE. I was like, I’m ready. I want to do this. I want to be on the camera, and I want to be a star.”
The report indicates that Brzezinski applied six times for her tryout spot and intends to use “Rosie Ray” as as her name in the ring.
When asked about the tryout process, Big E replied, “We’re putting them through the paces of rolling in the ring, hitting the ropes, doing the bumps, and see how they react, seeing how they learn day-to-day. But also, we’re seeing them on the microphone, seeing how their promos are. That’s a huge part of it. That’s what we do is having these larger-than-life characters.”
Former AEW/Impact star Kylie Rae and former MLW talent K.C. Navarro are taking part in the tryouts this week in Orlando, Florida.
