Featuring athletes from 18 countries, WWE's Dubai tryout is the most internationally diverse camp yet.
NXT General Manager William Regal, WWE Performance Center Head Coach Matt Bloom and NXT recruit Kishan Raftar oversee warm-up drills.
The camp includes prospects from the nearby Dubai Pro Wrestling organization, as well as trainees of former World Champion The Great Khali.
Other candidates have backgrounds in martial arts, boxing, fitness training and strongman competitions.
The tryout comes as WWE sharpens its efforts on international recruitment efforts.
"I want to find the best talent there is – the best athletes, the most professional, that have massive amounts of charisma – and I want to teach them how to become global stars," WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative Paul Levesque, aka Triple H, recently told WWE.com.
