WWE News: Io Shirai & More New WWE Signees Reportedly Beginning In July

Published

on

In case you’ve missed it, the WWE has been making a rash of signings over the past number of weeks as a number of top independent stars, as well as some fresh faces have inked deals with the company. We’ve seen STARDOM’s Io Shirai finally get signed after failing her medical examination the first time around (check that story out here), top female independent star Deonna Purrazzo ink her name to a deal (you can find that here), on top of EVOLVE and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla’s Keith Lee sign on the dotted line (you can find that here). However, we have yet to hear when they will be officially starting with WWE.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Shirai, Purrazzo and Lee are not expected to report to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida until some time in July. Additionally, new signees Luke Menzies (former English rugby star), Daniel Vidot (Australian rugby star) and USA Gymnast Stacy Ervin will all be joining them to begin their training.

Additionally, it’s being said that the WWE will be holding another round of tryouts at the Performance Center in the near future. Among the names expected to attend are former NFL player Dorin Dickerson (Houston Texans/New Orleans Saints/Buffalo Bills) and Duke University wrestler Jacob Kasper.
