The event will feature several talents, including Josh Bishop, Titus Alexander, J-Rod, Colton Theron Vaught, Monica Monroe, and others. According to Fightful Select, some invitees had received interest from other companies prior to being announced for these tryouts.
A recent report from Fightful Select revealed that J-Rod was on TNA Wrestling’s radar for a creative role before her inclusion in the upcoming WWE Tryouts. Sources in Nashville confirmed that J-Rod, who is currently the OVW Women’s Champion, even participated in a tryout match during a TNA taping. It is common for tryout matches to occur at TNA events.
The report indicated that J-Rod was discussed by the creative team led by Tommy Dreamer, but Dreamer felt she was not ready for television yet. It is important to note that J-Rod has participated in a WWE tryout.
In addition to being the OVW Women’s Champion, J-Rod is also a VWE Women’s Champion. She has previously worked for WOW (Women of Wrestling) and has appeared on American Gladiators.
