Extra News - Laredo Kid, Heenan, Gronk

* Mexican wrestler Laredo Kid, without his mask, received a WWE tryout on April 7th at the tapings in Dallas, Texas. He was one of the wrestlers who worked a dark match against Los Matadores. Laredo claims WWE has offered him a deal and they will be doing medical testing soon. If all goes well, he could be in NXT as early as June.

* In an update from earlier, the surgery that WWE Hall of Famer Bobby “The Brain” Heenan had this week had to do with new equipment that he needed in his jaw. Heenan was said to be doing well after surgery.

* FOX Sports recently spoke with NFL star Rob Gronkowski of The New England Patriots and brought up the teaser he posted this week with good friend Mojo Rawley of WWE NXT. Gronk was asked if he would ever do anything with WWE. He replied:

“My boy Mojo Rawley is in the WWE’s NXT and he just got back from an injury, so he’s about to start amping it up again and he’s doing a great job. He’s my boy and he’s killing it. I love watching him. We were just chilling and we cut a promo together and we had a blast. I can definitely see something in the future. Hopefully Mojo Rawley starts wrestling a lot and starts doing what he has to do and makes it to “Monday Night Raw”, if my boy is there, I’m there for an appearance.”

Gronk said he would be open to managing, wrestling or “all of it” when it comes to what WWE has to offer.
