May 4, 2014

As we noted last week, William Regal was recently in Brazil scouting talent, and he attended the FILL Double Impact event and the BWF Called To Fight event. Regal was joined by WWE Director of Talent Canyon Ceman.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE sees Brazil as an emerging market and high on the company's list of places in which it can make money, so the company is looking at bringing in some Brazilian talents to help bolster relations with the company.

As far as specific names are concerned, it's being rumored that both Regal and Ceman were high on Insano Igor, Max Miller, Tim Anderson, Brutus e Xandao, Sonico, Tytan, Prodan and Pezao. These names are rumored to be receiving tryouts at the WWE Performance Center in the near future.
