A former AEW star is reportedly set to take part in a WWE tryout over SummerSlam weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
WWE is set to host it’s latest tryouts this weekend, when the tryouts take place in Minneapolis ahead of this year’s SummerSlam event at US Bank Stadium.
A number of independent wrestling stars have announced that they will be attending the tryouts, and another notable name is set to be at the tryouts this weekend.
Per Fightful Select (subscription required), independent star KJ Orso, who previously worked for WWE as Fuego Del Sol, is set to be at the tryouts in Minneapolis this weekend.
Fuego had spent a lot of his time in AEW competing on AEW Dark and Dark: Elevation during the pandemic, with him famously facing Miro for the TNT Championship on the debut episode of AEW Rampage in 2021, where Sammy Guevara offered him an AEW contract after the match.
Fuego had announced his departure from AEW in June 2023, with him now competing as KJ Orso in various independent promotions.
