Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Chairman Turki Al-Sheikh announced earlier today on Twitter that WWE has signed Saudi powerlifter and arm wrestler Fahd Tuwaig, real name Fahad Sahli, to an official contract with the company.

In the video posted, Tuwaig stated “I want to change the world. And WWE will be my stage to do it. I want to make my country proud and I will do so in WWE.” Tuwaig was also shown flying to Orlando and already beginning his training at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida for his pro wrestling career with the company.
