Popular Tough Enough Contestant Possibly Signing with WWE
As noted, in addition to the winners of this year’s WWE Tough Enough, WWE has also signed Amanda Saccomanno, and she will be joining the Total Divas cast on the next season of the show.
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Patrick Clark, a popular Tough Enough contestant who many feel was voted off the show prematurely, has either signed, or will be signing with WWE in the near future.
The report notes a booker who was working with Clark was told that he couldn’t accept an offer as he will be reporting to the WWE Performance Center on October 19th. WWE would not confirm that Clark has signed with WWE, but as noted the company is giving second looks at eliminated talent from Tough Enough.
