Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that the rumors of Shinsuke Nakamura and Kazuchika Okada possibly receiving WWE tryouts this weekend are not true. We're still waiting to find out which Japanese wrestlers did receive tryouts this weekend.

William Regal was in Japan for the two WWE live events in Tokyo last weekend because he was overseeing the tryouts. WWE brought in six men and two women to work the session. Notable names included Leona Fujinami, son of WWE Hall of Famer Tatsumi Fujinami and former TNA X Division Champion Sanada, who still lives in the US but flew to Japan to get the tryout. Other names included indie wrestler Yohei and popular women's wrestler Hikaru Shida. Apparently Leona and Yohei worked a match.
