Since the start of the Women’s Evolution in WWE, the female stars of the company are getting more time to shine. That also includes being involved in more matches that the men are usually involved in. From Hell in a Cell matches all the way to the upcoming Becky Lynch/Auska/Charlotte Flair TLC match, no match has been limited to just the men.

Another old school gimmick may be introduced for the women in 2019. According to the latest Wresting Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer talked about the idea of WWE possibly bringing back the King of the Ring tournament for the women.

According to Meltzer, there has been an idea to run a “Queen of the Ring” tournament next year. Meltzer noted that it’s only an idea being thrown around at this point, but they are looking for ideas for another all-women’s pay-per-view in 2019.

The “King of the Ring” tournament first originated in 1985, with Don Muraco becoming the inaugural winner. Becoming a PPV event, the single-elimination tournament continued until 2002, and then made brief returns in 2006, 2008 and 2010. After a few more years, the tournament came back as a WWE Network special in 2015.

Evolution was the first all-women’s event in WWE, taking place in October. This would be the second show to involve just the female stars of WWE. It would also be the third major tournament-based show in the last few years involving the women, after WWE produced two Mae Young Classic tournaments.

WWE has announced that their first-ever tryouts in India will take place in March 2019 from Mumbai.

Below is the full announcement:

MUMBAI, INDIA and STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE today announced that it will visit India in search of the next generation of WWE Superstars by holding the first-ever talent tryout in Mumbai in March 2019. The four-day tryout will give up to 40 athletes from India the opportunity to showcase their abilities with the goal of being selected to begin training at the state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, U.S. The talent pool will comprise of elite performers with a diverse background in sports and athletics including kushti, kabaddi, wrestling, American Football, basketball, combat sports, cricket and bodybuilding.

“India has an extremely large and passionate fanbase and remains a top priority for WWE as we continue to localize content globally,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative. “I am confident this latest talent tryout will result in a world-class pool of athletes ready to pursue their dream of becoming the next WWE Superstar from India.”

Beginning today, the official WWE recruitment website at www.wweperformancecenter.com is available in Hindi. Tailored to athletes who are interested in pursuing a career in sports-entertainment, the website features information about the WWE recruitment process and provides a detailed look at what day-to-day life is like for NXT Superstars and members of the WWE Performance Center roster.

The online hub includes step-by-step instructions on how to apply for a tryout, as well as access to the official application form; an overview of the many resources available to WWE Performance Center recruits, from professional development and life-skills services, to in-ring training and on-site medical care; photos of the entire Performance Center roster, including current NXT Superstars and champions; biographies of the WWE PC’s industry-leading coaching staff; testimonials from Monday Night Raw and SmackDown LIVE Superstars; and videos from past tryouts, both those held at the Performance Center and internationally.

A major success story from WWE’s global talent recruiting efforts is Kavita Devi of Haryana, India, who was discovered at WWE’s first open tryout in Dubai in April 2017. Devi made WWE history becoming the first woman from India to compete in a WWE ring when she made her debut in the inaugural Mae Young Classic.  She has also competed on WWE’s biggest stage during the Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania in New Orleans. In January, Devi was one of the 112 women to be honored as “First Ladies,” a distinction given to high-achieving female pioneers, by The President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind.

Also recruited from the Dubai tryout alongside Devi was Indian TV star Saurav Gurjar, from Madhya Pradesh, India, and Rinku Singh, from Uttar Pradesh, India. Singh achieved worldwide fame in 2008 after winning reality TV show “The Million Dollar Arm” and joining MLB’s Pittsburgh Pirates as a pitcher. Both Gurjar and Singh began training fulltime at the WWE Performance Center in January this year.

The tryout in India is the latest example of WWE’s global talent recruiting efforts. In recent years, WWE has scouted rugby and soccer players from Europe, kabaddi and kushti athletes from India, and martial artists and boxers from China. WWE has held similar tryouts in Shanghai, Dubai, Jeddah, Cologne and Santiago.
