WWE Signing A Masked Wrestler Soon?, Backstage Note On Triple H's Return, Recent WWE Attendance
- Mexican wrestler Laredo Kid, without his mask, received a WWE tryout on April 7th at the tapings in Dallas, Texas. He was one of the wrestlers who worked a dark match against Los Matadores. Laredo claims WWE has offered him a deal and they will be doing medical testing soon. If all goes well, he could be in NXT as early as June.
- As noted, Triple H will be back on next week's RAW from Albany, New York with an announcement on Tough Enough. At one point WWE planned for Triple H to come back at last Monday's RAW in London but the return was nixed for whatever reason.
