In speaking with several sources today, I can confirm that New Japan Pro Wrestling superstar Fergal “Prince” Devitt, Dragon Gate USA star PAC and several United Kingdom based independent wrestlers, most notably Crusher Craib and Bingo Ballance from WrestleZone Scotland all worked WWE tryout matches at the O2 Arena in London, England earlier today prior to the doors opening to the fans.
WWE have had an interest in bringing in several Dragon Gate USA stars in recent months, with PAC and a few others topping that list. The interest in Devitt is something that the company have been pursuing in recent weeks as several people within the company have recommended his name to WWE officials. As for Craib and Ballance, those two like the other unannounced names thus far, are getting a lookout as the company evaluates them before deciding whether or not to sign them to a developmental deal. Ballance previously worked for Irish Whip Wrestling, the same company that current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Sheamus, previously worked for. Craib is 6ft 6in and 275lbs and would fit the WWE mold of wrestlers.
Stick with us as the story develops.
