WWE has officially unveiled its newest wave of international talent signings, following a series of global tryouts held earlier this year during the company’s overseas tour in March. The announcement confirms several names that had already been rumored to be joining the company.
Among those who took part in the tryouts were Zozaya, Mike D Vecchio, and Aigle Blanc, all of whom were previously reported as likely to sign after completing their independent obligations. WWE has now confirmed those reports, listing the new recruits under their real names, along with two additional signees.
The five new WWE recruits are:
Jaime Garcia (Zozaya)
Mike Derudder (Mike D Vecchio)
