Updated at 4.20 pm ET to include Starboy Charlie details.
Independent wrestlers Nor ‘Phoenix’ Diana and Bhupinder Gujjar have confirmed they will attend WWE tryouts at the Performance Center this week.
Starboy Charlie later revealed via an Instagram story that he would also be participating.
Diana, a Malaysian wrestler, announced her participation on social media.
I’m grateful for the people who helped shape this journey, especially my coach @TheShaukat @apacwrestling, and the experience I gained at #LodestoneWrestling. I trust the work I’ve put in and the process that got me here. Ready to give everything and earn my place.
Her post drew public support from WWE stars Bayley and Natalya. Diana recently participated in the “Lodestone” all-women’s training camp in Florida, which was funded and organized by Bayley.
In the ring, Diana recently defended the APAC Women’s Championship against Mercedes Moné at House of Glory’s Superclash event in November 2025. She originally made a name internationally in 2019 when she defeated four male competitors to win the Malaysia Pro Wrestling Wrestlecon championship.
Bhupinder Gujjar also revealed his invitation to the trials. The former TNA Wrestling talent shared an image of the invite with the caption, “New Year, New opportunity.”
Scott D’Amore, who recently utilized Gujjar for the revival of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, endorsed the wrestler on X.
I met Bhupinder within days of him moving to Canada. He is class act & quality person who contributed in @bcwonline, @ThisIsTNA, @MapleLeafPW & any locker room he’s been in. If @WWE gives him a chance he will be a valuable member of @WWENXT, @WWNEVOLVE or wherever he lands.
Gujjar began his career training under The Great Khali in India before moving to Windsor, Ontario, to train at the Can-Am Wrestling School. He was a regular on TNA programming from 2022 through 2024, notably engaging in a feud with Brian Myers over the Digital Media Championship.
Starboy Charlie also indicated on Instagram that he will be attending the tryouts. The 22-year-old California native has been a staple of the independent scene since he was a teenager, wrestling for promotions such as GCW and West Coast Pro. He is the current West Coast Pro Tag Team Champion with Titus Alexander.
