Elly Finch Signs Developmental Deal with WWE
Elly Finch, a 23-year-old former shot put thrower for Michigan State's Track and Field team, has reportedly signed a developmental deal with WWE following a successful tryout during the 2026 SummerSlam weekend in Minnesota.
Finch initially participated in a WWE tryout at the WWE Performance Center in January 2026, but a concussion sidelined her for part of the event. Despite this setback, she demonstrated enough potential to be invited back for another tryout during SummerSlam.
After her signing, Finch is expected to join the upcoming WWE NXT Performance Center class, which also includes other notable talents. WWE has conducted additional tryout events in Colombia and Hawaii since SummerSlam.
