Rugby League star Daniel Vidot says he has secured a contract with WWE.
The Australian-Samoan said on his Facebook page that he has been offered a three-year-deal by the sports entertainment giant, having successfully completed a three-day trial at their famed Performance Centre.
The former Brisbane winger is set to give NRL away to take up a short term deal in Rugby Union before relocating to the US to chase his pro wrestling dream.
