Only a number of days remain until WWE SummerSlam weekend, and with that does not just come one in every of the largest events on the WWE calendar, but the chance for several wrestlers outside the WWE bubble to take part in tryouts in hopes of earning a contract. And at the least one name fans are aware of can be participating within the festivities. Fightful Select<\/a> reports that independent wrestler KJ Orso is in Minnesota for SummerSlam weekend, and though he didn’t announce it, is scheduled to participate in WWE tryouts.<\/p>\n Orso is best known not by that name, but because the masked luchador Fuego del Sol. Initially gaining popularity by appearing on friend Sammy Guevara’s vlog earlier in the last decade, Fuego would develop into one in every of AEW’s hottest enhancement talents throughout the pandemic before officially signing a contract with the promotion in August 2021. He would remain a full-time wrestler for the promotion until his contract expired in 2023, though he would go on to make further appearances for AEW and Ring of Honor in 2024 and 2025 when the promotion held tapings in Texas.<\/p>\n After losing a profession vs. mask match to Atticus Cogar in April 2025, Fuego unmasked and adopted the KJ Orso persona, competing under that name ever since. He has competed consistently on the independent scene since, most notably for GCW. In January 2026, speculation rose that Orso could sign with TNA after he wrestled on the pre-show of their Genesis PPV. Nonetheless, he was ultimately not offered a contract, and thus far has not made one other appearance for TNA.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arturo Holmes\/Getty Images Only a number of days remain until WWE SummerSlam weekend, and with that does not just come one in every of the largest events on the WWE calendar, but the chance for several wrestlers outside the WWE bubble to take part in tryouts in hopes of earning a contract.
