A new member has come aboard the WWE roster.
Ahead of the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble, Chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority Turki Al-Sheikh announced that WWE has officially signed Fahd Tuwaiq, a champion arm wrestler and powerlifter.
As seen in his introductory video, Tuwaiq has already visited and trained inside the WWE Performance Center in Florida. Now, he aims to make WWE and his country proud.
“I am Fahd Tuwaiq, the first Saudi super heavyweight joined to WWE,” Tuwaiq said in the video. “I want to change the world and WWE will be my stage to do it. Came from the north of the Kingdom, the city of Neom, because I’m a champion with arm wrestling and powerlifting.
“I have been at the Performance Center. This is the top place if you want to be a professional wrestler. Every war is calculated, and the action is ready. In my traditional language, as the elders used to say: a tongue that responds, and hands that act.’ I want to make my country proud, and I will do so in WWE.”
As of this writing, there is no word on when Tuwaiq will make his in-ring debut for WWE, though it’s worth noting that both WWE SmackDown and the Royal Rumble take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this weekend. The Royal Rumble will begin at 2 pm ET on ESPN DTC for fans in the United States, or 8 pm local time in Saudi Arabia.
