Bin Wang To Make WWE Debut In Shanghai
WWE's first Chinese recruit to take on Bo Dallas.
WWE.com has announced that Bin Wang, the company's first talent recruit from China, will be making his debut for the promotion at September 10's live event in Shanghai. His opponent will be former NXT Champion Bo Dallas.
Wang, who hails from Anhui, was first hired by WWE in June, with his developmental contract signing announced at a Shanghai press conference featuring John Cena and Yao Ming. The 22-year-old Wang, who stands 6'3" and weighs 220 pounds, has previously worked in Japan. He moved to Orlando immediately after his signing was announced and he has been working out in the WWE Performance Center ever since.
Wang has called the opportunity to make his debut in front of his countrymen a "great honor," while Triple H has promised that he will show the "tremendous progress" he has made since his signing.
WWE's live event in Shanghai - the company's first show in China in more than three years - will feature talent from the Raw brand, although Smackdown's John Cena has also been advertised for the show. Given Cena's demeanor after his SummerSlam loss to AJ Styles, as well as his impending departure to film season two of American Grit, his involvement is considered uncertain.
