Though Singapore may continue to falter in the football industry (or at least where a global scale’s concerned), it seems that they have, at least, managed to clinch partial recognition in one of the most celebrated sports industries around the world.
It is, after all, not every day that a Singaporean gets recruited to WWE’s formidable Performance Center, a site where candidates train for a potential WWE debut.

According to WWE, a new group of recruits from Asia has turned up at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla… which wouldn’t exactly have been head-turning news (to us anyway) had one of the candidates not come from a very familiar place:
25-year-old Sean Tan… from Singapore.
Indeed, the former Singapore Pro Wrestling Southeast Asia Champion, who competed under the moniker Trexxus, is set to shoot his shot at the most lucrative Wrestling stage of them all, and he’s understandably grateful for the opportunity.
“To the believers, thank you and don’t stop supporting the dreamers,” Tan posted on his Facebook page on Friday (2 July).
“To the doubters, thank you and it’s never too late to start,” added the former Singapore Pro Wrestling (SPW) Southeast Asia Champion, who has been wrestling since 2012.
Incidentally, the WWE Performance Center is described as a facility “designed to develop the most well-rounded athletes on and off-screen, providing recruits the opportunity to learn under a world-class coaching team as they work toward their dream of becoming WWE Superstars”.
Back in 2019, Tan had joined a tryout in Shanghai, alongside Alexis Lee and Andruew Tang.
In total, 40 athletes from Asia attended the trial.
They were brought through a four-day trial, and should they be selected, they’ll be given a WWE developmental contract.

According to WrestlingInc, new WWE talents signed to developmental contracts are paid, on average, from S$50,000 to S$150,000 per year.
And if the talents can make it to the top of the company on RAW or Smackdown? They’ll be looking at seven-figure salaries.
Talents will not just be taught technique and timing. They’ll also be trained in camera awareness and presence, and most importantly, how to avoid getting injured once signed.
According to WWE, they will be conducting talent tryouts over in Las Vegas soon.
