WWE confirms signings of Hussain Aldagal and Faisal Kurdi

WWE has officially confirmed the signings of two of the most recent wrestlers to join the Performance Center.

WWE.com announced today that Hussain Aldagal and Faisal Kurdi have signed with the company. They reported to the Performance Center several weeks ago. Both Aldagal and Kurdi are from Saudi Arabia and attended WWE’s tryout in Jeddah last year.

At the Greatest Royal Rumble in April 2018, Aldagal and Kurdi were part of the segment where attendees from the Jeddah tryout fought off Ariya & Shawn Daivari. NXT’s Mansoor Al-Shehail, who won the battle royal at Super ShowDown last week, was also in that segment and signed with WWE after.

WWE notes that Aldagal has athletic experience in volleyball and bodybuilding and is also a civil engineer, while Kurdi has a background in amateur grappling, Muay Thai boxing, and mixed martial arts. 

Aldagal and Kurdi signing with WWE was first reported by Casey of Square Circle Sirens last month.
