Talk about fitspo! Meet Shadia Bseiso, the Jordanian sporting enthusiast who has just made history by becoming the first Middle Eastern woman to sign to WWE.
Shadia, who has landed a developmental contract, is a ‘trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete and CrossFit enthusiast’. The presenter and sportswoman attended the Midde East and India try-outs earlier this year, ultimately landing herself the opportunity to start training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida this January.
“It is an honour to be the first-ever woman from the Middle East to sign with WWE,” Shadia, who has appeared on the cover of Woman’s Health in the past, said of her achievement. “Working with WWE is an incredible opportunity. I have visited the Performance Center and attended the Mae Young Classic. I have personally witnessed the power of WWE and the passion of WWE fans. I look forward to starting on my path to becoming a WWE Superstar.”
And WWE seem pretty excited about their history-making sign up too.
“Recruiting Shadia to join our developmental system underscores WWE’s ongoing commitment to building a talent roster as diverse as our fan base,” said WWE Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, Paul Levesque. “We’re confident Shadia will help inspire future WWE Superstars, as we continue to recruit the most talented athletes and entertainers from around the world.”
