- European arm wrestling champion Sarah Backman revealed on Twitter that she's signed with WWE and began training at the Performance Center in Orlando today. She tweeted:

"So.. Today, it's exactly 7 years ago I started armwrestling – Nov 19 2006. Pretty funny that I started WRESTLING almost the same date (yesterday, Nov 18th) 7 years later. It's gonna be very interesting and exciting to see where I'm at in another seven years! #wwe #armwrestling #anniversary #wrestling #wwediva #loveit"

Backman retired from professional arm wrestling to sign a WWE deal and has been waiting since the summer for her work visa to come through so she could travel here from Sweden. She moved to Orlando last week. Here's a photo from today:
