SHANGHAI, China and STAMFORD, Conn. — Spectators at WWE Live China in Shanghai on Saturday, Sept. 10, will witness history as Bin Wang, from Anhui, makes his WWE in-ring debut against Superstar Bo Dallas.
The 22-year-old’s first appearance for WWE will be in front of his home nation at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Wang, 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, signed a WWE developmental contract in June, giving him the opportunity to train at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Fla.

“It will be a great honor to make my WWE debut in my home nation,” said Wang. “I recognize I am not only representing myself, but everyone in China, and I am committed to making them proud as I continue on the journey to become the first-ever Chinese WWE Superstar.”
In a video posted on Twitter, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative, said Wang will display the tremendous progress he has made in the ring since joining the Performance Center two months ago.
