2016 Olympic wrestling gold medalist Erica Wiebe participated in a tryout at the WWE Performance Center a couple of weeks ago and also met with WWE officials and attended the Mae Young Classic.
She has now written an article in CBC Sports about her experience, saying that she will not be joining WWE right now since her plan all along was to focus on the 2020 Olympics, but WWE told her that the door is open for her to try again after 2020.
For now, I am returning to my life in Calgary. Training in a little padded room in the basement at the University. The next adventure for me will be to try life in the corporate world. In the next few weeks, by day, I will be working as a consultant at Deloitte, translating what I know about excellence, leadership, and passion into the processes and systems of different industries and more than anything, soaking up a whole different world of information.
It is a flexible work opportunity that will provide balance in my life and most importantly, support my focus on competing at the next Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
As for the WWE, everyone there knows I’m committed to Tokyo but they have left the door open for me to try again after the Summer Games. Will it lead to a life in professional wrestling? Only time will answer that question.
