Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.

5) WWE’s New Recruitment Strategy (Part 1)

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE’s new plan is to higher more females who are under the age of 25.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

“Age is also likely a part in many of the decisions because the company is well aware that they don’t have enough talent in their 20s on television and are looking at recruiting bigger, younger and people with more of a legitimate athletic background going forward. The new directives on hiring new women is the recommendations are 25 or younger.”

My Take:

  • I feel like they are going to miss out on a lot of great talent like this.

4) WWE’s New Recruitment Strategy (Part 2)

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are rumors that WWE is going to start signing some prospects to 60-day trial contracts. If they don’t show improvements, they will not get full-time contracts.

“There is also talk that of those being signed by WWE starting in the new year, that they will, except the top prospects, be signed to 60-day trial contracts to see the rate they improve at. If they don’t show improvement, they won’t be signed to full-time deals.”

My Take:

  • Damn. Talk about pressure to perform right out of the gate.
