The official description for the first episode of THE WRESTLERS, which is titled “Training the Wrestling Stars of the Future, reads as follows:

This has been the most interesting part to me. Seeing how everyone’s career has developed since this was filmed. A lot of success stories. Really proud of this roster. Looking forward to seeing how the current EVOLVE roster advances. #TheWrestlers https://t.co/aQ0ahVKNot
