As it turns out, a big name is set to take part in the tryout, as European Football League player Yago Rivero took to Instagram on March 26 to reveal that he will be there.

“Imagine you are chilling at home looking through your phone and then suddenly you get a text message that can change your life. Well that’s how WWE contacted me directly to invite to their tryouts in London. They have selected athletes from across the world to be the next WWE Superstars, and somehow I was chosen to be part of this. I was thinking about even sharing this, but if I was a child and I had this opportunity, I would like to live this with him. That’s why I’m sharing this, because we’ve all had a childhood dream we wanted to follow and this is mine. If someone would have told as a kid that in 15 years that I would have a chance to join WWE, I would have never believed it. Life is funny sometimes and now I am one step away. If you want to live this with me, follow me in this journey. We taking it all."

Fightful will update fans when more names are confirmed for WWE's upcoming tryout in London.
