WWE Signs Big Cross-Over Athlete, Lana Debuts New Ring Attire

WWE is always looking to add as much talent as they can from all over the globe and it doesn’t have to necessarily come from the pro wrestling world either. Some of the biggest Superstars today came from other sports. Braun Strowman was a strongman, Big Cass was a basketball player, and Alexa Bliss played all sorts of sports and was a professional bodybuilder before coming to WWE just to name a few.

Now it looks like WWE has snagged another cross-over athlete from the sports world. Daniel Vidot tried out for WWE before but it looks like after his second attempt in October last year he finally got a deal with WWE and now he’s looking for a residence in the Florida area.

This guy has a lot of potential coming from the pro rugby world. I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know much about rugby that I didn’t learn from one episode of Friends, but it’s a pretty brutal sport and Vidot spent a lot of time smashing people for multiple teams before ending a nine-year career in 2016.

Now it looks like this 240 pounder is on his way to NXT which is a very exciting thing to consider.

Lana is overseas right now and she recently decided to bust out some new ring attire for the international fans. Her new look is a lot different than what she usually wears but at least she’s not dancing in the ring anymore.

Lana is taking her pro wrestling career very seriously and wants to be a contender. She might be able to use that third eye on her new ring attire to foresee some big things for her on SmackDown Live, especially if they continue the storyline between her and Rusev that started a couple of weeks ago. I just have to wonder what is up with those sleeves.
