WWE has tryouts this week, and things are being kept fairly quiet about participants.

Fightful Select has learned of a few names, with only one being solidly confirmed within WWE. Last week, when Fightful reported that Leyla Hirsch had a tryout as a referee, one WWE source joked "I thought we met our short quota by bringing in Big Trouble Ben Bishop for a tryout next week."

Ben Bishop is nearly seven feet tall. Here's our recent interview with him.

The WWE source did in fact confirm that Bishop is slated for a tryout.

Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan has learned that several European talent have been brought in for this week’s tryouts in New Jersey. Several names have been called in from the UK and Irish scenes.

Two talent that featured in WWE’s tryouts earlier this year in London, Goldenboy Santos and Rayne Leverkusen, will feature in this week’s tryouts. Additionally, LJ Cleary, Omari, and CBL. Influencer Meghan Walker is also at the event. Fightful will continue to work to find out more talent that will feature at this week’s tryout.

Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp has also confirmed indie wrestlers Zoe Sager, Mike Cunningham, Anita Vaughn, Will Kroos, D1 wrestler Aeden Begue, CJ Felder, Ellen Viking, Ariana Milian.
