Tough Enough’s 40 finalists announced, WWE Network special next week

The top 40 finalists for the new season of Tough Enough were chosen after WWE went through around 11,000 submissions.

A mini-camp will be held between June 10 and 12 where producers will then cut down the finalists to just 13. The journey of the final 40 will be chronicled on a WWE Network exclusive, Tough Enough Competition Special, which airs Tuesday, June 16 at 8PM EST.

The mini-camp will be held at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. Tough Enough will be mainly filmed at the Performance Center as well, showcasing WWE’s state of the art training facility.
