World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) will visit Dubai in search of the next generation of WWE Superstars by holding four-day talent tryouts from April 26 to 29, it was announced on Tuesday.
The event, which will be hosted at the newly constructed Dubai Opera House, will give 40 men and women from the Middle East and India the opportunity to showcase their abilities in the hopes of being recruited to begin training at the WWE Performance Center in the US, according to a release.
The talent pool will comprise elite performers with a diverse background in sports and athletics, including power lifters, body builders, martial artists and fitness experts.
The Dubai tryout is the latest example of WWE's global talent recruiting efforts. In recent years, WWE has scouted rugby and soccer players from Europe, Kabaddi and wrestling athletes from India, and martial artists and boxers from China.
