WWE Unveils New Saudi Signnee at Royal Rumble Kickoff Event
During the Royal Rumble kickoff event in Riyadh on Friday, WWE officially introduced one of its newest roster additions. This highly anticipated announcement comes after the company signed Saudi powerlifter and arm wrestler Fahd Tuwaiq earlier in the week. Tuwaiq's first public appearance for WWE took place in Riyadh, where he excited his home country fans for the upcoming Royal Rumble 2026 and WrestleMania 2027.
The excitement was palpable as Fahd Tuwaiq, WWE's newest Superstar, took center stage at the Royal Rumble Weekend in Riyadh. The crowd roared with approval as he expressed his pride in representing his country and his people, calling them the best fans in the world. Tuwaiq's passion was evident as he proclaimed, 'Royal Rumble tomorrow will be awesome, will be great!' He also teased the upcoming WrestleMania, exclaiming, 'Mania in Arabia!'
During the kickoff show, a video highlighted Tuwaiq's journey, introducing him as the 'first Saudi super heavyweight joined to WWE.' He shared his ambitious goals, stating, 'I want to change the world, and I plan to use WWE as my platform to make it happen.' Tuwaiq's confidence in his abilities is well-founded, as he is a champion in arm wrestling and powerlifting. He praised the WWE Performance Center, describing it as a top-tier facility for aspiring professional wrestlers.
'I am champion with arm wrestling and powerlifting,' Tuwaiq said. 'I have been at the Performance Center, and it's an incredible place to hone your skills if you aspire to become a professional wrestler. I want to make my country proud, and I will do so in WWE.'
The anticipation surrounding Tuwaiq's in-ring debut is high, with WWE filing a trademark for his name, 'Fahd Tuwaiq,' on December 5. The exact timing of his debut remains a closely guarded secret, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the opportunity to witness his unique style and skills in the ring.
