WWE Signs First Female Talent From The Middle East To Developmental Contract

WWE has signed Shadia Bseiso from Jordan to a developmental contract, becoming the first Arab woman from the Middle East to have the opportunity to train to become a WWE Superstar.

Bseiso, a trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete and CrossFit enthusiast, attended WWE’s invitation-only talent tryout in Dubai earlier this year. The talent pool for the tryouts comprised 40 men and women from the Middle East and India with diverse backgrounds in sports and athletics, including power lifters, rugby and football players, amateur wrestlers, martial artists and fitness experts. Bseiso’s athletic abilities, confidence, and natural charisma earned her the opportunity to begin training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida this January.
