WWE Announces Five New Talent Signings

WWE has officially announced its latest group of signings, comprised of several international independent wrestlers who recently participated in company tryouts. The signings follow international tryouts held during WWE’s overseas tour back in March.

Among the talents who attended the tryouts were Zozaya, Mike D Vecchio, and Aigle Blanc. All three were previously reported as being expected to sign with WWE after concluding their commitments with other promotions.

WWE confirmed these signings today, announcing them under their real names alongside two additional recruits: Dusan Novakovic and Nathan Cranton. The five newly announced signings are:

Jaime Garcia (Zozaya)

Mike Derudder (Mike D Vecchio)
