Former MLW Star Spotted At WWE Performance Center
An interesting name was spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL.
According to Fightful Select (subscription required) Salina de la Renta was training at WWE’s training facility. The report notes they do not know “if that consisted of in-ring, workouts, tryouts or promo class.” The expectation is WWE will or has offered her a contract, as the company has shown interest in her.
Salina de la Renta is best known for her with Major League Wrestling, her contract with the promotion expired recently, and she has been open about her options in the wrestling world. After publically announcing her departure from MLW, she polled her Twitter followers, asking which promotion she should join.
