Former UFC Star Begins WWE Training

Dave Meltzer has reported that Tito Ortiz has spent the past week at the WWE Performance Center. Ortiz has stated in the past that he would like to join a wrestling promotion. He also said back in December in an interview with TMZ that he was in talks with WWE.

Prior to this, Ortiz was in a handful of events for TNA (Impact) in 2005 at Bound for Glory and Hard Justice PPV’s where he was guest referee. He was also part of the Aces and Eights storyline in 2013, but only stayed around for a few weeks.

Ortiz is also a UFC Hall of Fame member and former Light Heavyweight Champion. He does have existing back and neck issues, so any use in the ring is likely to be limited.
