Just prior to “Monday Night Raw” this past week, WWE announced it would be pulling its second-screen experience with its removal from the WWE App. It was a surprising decision for many, but the company has decided not to move forward with it going forward. However, in a new press release, WWE officially announces the “WWE Tough Enough” App, which is available now.

Below is the release from the company:

WWE TOUGH ENOUGH® APP NOW AVAILABLE

NEW YORK and STAMFORD, Conn., May 26, 2015 – WWE®’s revolutionary, official app for the much-anticipated reality show WWE Tough Enough on USA Network will provide an unprecedented fan experience before, during and after the show, and is now available for free download on iOS and Android devices. WWE Tough Enough, hosted by WWE Superstar Chris Jericho®, premieres on Tuesday, June 23 at 8/7c on USA Network and around the world.*

The WWE Tough Enough App will enable fans to vote for who stays and who goes with results calculated in real-time during the final minutes of each episode.  The official app will also be home to WWE’s leading-edge second-screen experience, which will feature live backstage interviews during commercial breaks and social media conversation from the hosts, judges, trainers and contestants.  Other features will include contestant bios, exclusive behind-the-scenes videos and photos, and full episode results and highlights.  The WWE Tough Enough App will also offer sneak peeks of contestant tryouts as well as breaking news about which WWE hopefuls have joined the cast.

Each week, one cast member will be eliminated until one man and one woman are considered “Tough Enough,” with each earning a one-year, $250,000 WWE contract. Jericho will be joined by a panel of experts comprised of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan®, WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan® and WWE Diva Paige™, and throughout the competition, the contestants will be trained by WWE Legends Booker T™, Billy Gunn™ and Lita™.

As noted on Wrestling Rumors, the show will feature many former and current WWE talent, and will have two winners with a prize of a $250,000 contract.

Editor’s Note

Haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but will have to. If Triple H has this much involvement, I’m sure it will be good.
