Tough Enough has officially kicked off at the WWE Performance Center. What started as 40 finalists announced on Monday Night RAW will be down to just 13 by Friday, according to Triple H.
The official @WWEToughEnough Twitter account has been covering all the action coming out of Orlando, and we already know who our first round of eliminations are. Unfortunately, Carley Marshall suffered a knee injury early into the process and will not be moving on. Kevin Penczek, Jason Vazquez, Lorenzo Davis II, Ava Knight-Salicka, Krishany San Jorge, Philip Guilford and Adam Ohriner have all been eliminated as well.
Day one kicked off with all 40 of the competitors arriving and meeting at the Performance Center.
