Former NRL and Samoa winger Daniel Vidot will become a “Samoan Ghost” in the WWE, confirming he’s signed a three‑year deal with the professional wrestling powerhouse.

The 28‑year‑old Gold Coaster who retired from the Brisbane Broncos in 2015, locked in a full‑time contract after a trial in Florida in October.

He was inspired by his Samoan heritage – following the example of established Samoan WWE superstars The Rock and The USOs.

During his NRL career Vidot played 100 first grade games, representing the Canberra Raiders, St George Illawarra Dragons, the Brisbane Broncos and the Gold Coast Titans.
