WWE has reportedly added three recent international prospects to its roster.
In response to a report from Pwinsider, Egyptian wrestler Ahmed Essam, German wrestler Delia Schweitzer, and Swedish athlete Ellen B. Akkesson have all agreed to contracts with the corporate. It’s currently unclear whether the trio has already begun training on the WWE Performance Center or in the event that they are scheduled to report there at a later date.
Essam brings a powerful background in powerlifting and amateur wrestling. His Instagram page notes that he’s a two-time Arab Wrestling Championship winner and a World Wrestling Champion. Akkesson also has a formidable strength-sport resume, having won national titles in powerlifting, strongwoman, and streetlifting, together with a world championship in armwrestling.
Each Essam and Schweitzer previously took part in WWE’s tryouts during SummerSlam weekend last yr.
The signings are a part of WWE’s ongoing effort to recruit more international athletes for its developmental system.
