Two athletes from last year’s historic WWE tryout in Jeddah have begun training at the Performance Center.
Faisal Kurdi and Hussain Aldagal, both from Saudi Arabia, reported to WWE’s Orlando training facility several weeks ago after being selected from nearly 30 athletes who took part in the Jeddah tryout.
That was the same tryout attended by current NXT Superstar Mansoor, who won the 50-Man Battle Royal at WWE Super ShowDown.
Kurdi boasts a background in amateur grappling, Muay Thai boxing and mixed martial arts, and has placed in championship competitions in the Middle East. He stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 182 pounds.
The 6-foot-3, 211-pound Aldagal has previous athletic experience in volleyball and bodybuilding. Outside of his athletic endeavors, he is also a civil engineer.
