KC Navarro And Kylie Rae Involved In Latest WWE Performance Center Tryout

Could KC Navarro and Kylie Rae be among the next generation of WWE Superstars?

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the latest WWE Performance Center tryout got underway yesterday and is scheduled to run through most of the week.

Names currently confirmed to be involved are former All Elite Wrestling, IMPACT, and NWA star Kylie Rae and former Major League Wrestling star and current Warrior Wrestling Champion KC Navarro.

Navarro, who is the younger brother of All Elite Wrestling’s Diamante, announced his free agency in the world of professional wrestling back in September on social media. It’s been reported recently that the talented young star has been on WWE’s radar in recent months.

In addition to PWInsider’s report, Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select) has added that these tryouts are more private than previous tryouts that have been held at the WWE Performance Center recently. With the criteria being described as “significantly different” than what they’ve done with the collegiate athletes over the last couple of years.

During a virtual signing with Captain’s Corner, Kylie Rae spoke in-depth about her time in IMPACT Wrestling and the situation that led to her leaving the company. Kylie pulled herself from the show, but now says she had nothing but good things to say about her time in the company.

“So I legit, I loved my time in IMPACT. Everyone there was so freaking awesome,” Kylie Rae said, via POST Wrestling. “Okay, so Jimmy Jacobs, I don’t know how many people — Jimmy Jacobs is pretty open about the fact that he’s a writer for IMPACT, right? Okay. He’s f — sorry, trying to stop cursing but he’s an f’ing genius.

“I have nothing but good things to say about IMPACT. I loved it there. I promise, my stuff, it was not wrestling-related. It was like mental health on top of concussions on top of just not being okay so, it was like everything spanned into one and do you ever have those moments where you’re just like ignoring, ignoring, ignoring and then everything — I think about it like, when you’re driving your car, one light comes on then another light comes on and then another and you’re like, ‘Oh! I’ll get it fixed later. I’ll get it checked out later.’”
