I genuinely thought it was fake and almost ignored it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It looks like Linnaye will have her chance to prove her skills in the squared circle, as WWE is sending her to Orlando for what she called an intense one-week evaluation period with other elite athletes from around the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019ll be there with a group of insane athletes from all over the world \u2014 D1 athletes, professional athletes, bodybuilders, gymnasts, wrestlers,\u201d Linnaye wrote on her social media account. \u201cAll of us going through an intense week to see if any one of us has what it takes to become the next WWE Superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The WWE Performance Center is WWE\u2019s main training center, where aspiring individuals undergo rigorous physical and performance-based testing. According to Linnaye, \u201cThey\u2019re not just looking at how strong or athletic we are,\u201d she wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s how we move, how we perform, how we handle pressure, our personality, our presence\u2026 everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The experience, Linnaye admitted, will definitely push her out of her comfort zone, but she is embracing it. \u201cI don\u2019t take this opportunity lightly at all,\u201d she wrote. \u201cJust being invited is something I\u2019m really grateful for,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI\u2019m beyond excited for the chance to learn from the best, meet some amazing people, and try something new.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She told her followers that she will update them on what is happening throughout the tryout process. \u201cSide quest activated,\u201d Linnaye wrote. \u201cWish me luck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a href=\"https:\/\/whereisthebuzz.com\/bodybuilder-penny-linnaye-lands-wwe-tryout-after-thinking-dm-was-fake\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Bodybuilder Penny Linnaye Lands WWE Tryout After Thinking DM Was Fake;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Bodybuilder Penny Linnaye Lands WWE Tryout After Thinking DM Was Fake<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/whereisthebuzz.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews &amp; More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews &amp; More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/bodybuilder-penny-linnaye-lands-wwe-160836749.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bodybuilder and personal trainer Penny Linnaye is getting her turn in the squared circle this week, participating in a WWE tryout event at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.
