Update On WWE’s New Philosophy For Signing Wrestlers

They do have a plan. WWE has changed up its roster over and over in recent years and that seems to be continuing. Since the company has released dozens of wrestlers, they are going to need to bring in some new ones to fill in those gaps. There are more than a few places to find the wrestlers who can fill those gaps, and now we know a bit more about the path that WWE will be taking for them.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE will be holding another tryout camp in Dallas over WrestleMania 38 weekend. The plan is to sign “no more independent wrestlers than can be counted on one hand” and even fewer than that from camps in the future. WWE’s goal is to sign as many non-wrestling athletes as possible in an effort to mold them into stars in the future. WWE is holding another tryout camp this weekend and seems to have signed former Ring of Honor Women’s Champion Rok-C, who participated in the camp.

Opinion: This is one of those ideas where WWE seems to keep swinging from extreme to extreme and that is rarely a good idea. I understand the idea of wanting to pick your own wrestlers and go from there, but at the same time, there are some wrestlers with experience who could jump straight into the middle of WWE and do well. In other words, the solution is probably somewhere in the middle, as tends to almost always be the case.

What do you think of WWE’s strategy? Who should WWE sign? Let us know in the comments below.
