According to a recent report by The Times of India, WWE has signed Indian Kick-boxer that transitioned into an actor Saurav Gurjar to a developmental contract.
According to WWE, Saurav Gurjar is 33 years of age, he is 6-foot-8 and 298 pounds. Gurjar was one of those who joined 33 male and female athletes from 18 countries last spring in a four-day invitation-only tryout in Dubai. During the tryouts, he impressed WWE Performance Center coaches and earned himself a developmental contract.
He is said to have a background in boxing & kickboxing and he was the Haryana State Boxing Champion before he took up acting. He is best known in India for his portrayal of “Bheem” in the Hindi-language mythological TV drama Mahabharat (2013). 

Gurjar also has some wrestling experience as he took part in Ring Ka King, a television-based promotion based in India and it was backed by TNA. He wrestled three matches under the name Deadly Danda. He partnered with Abyss, Magnus, Scott Steiner, and Sonjay Dutt in two matches against Matt Morgan and Chavo Guerrero, Jr., among others. He also faced luchador Puma in one singles match.
On joining WWE, he said that “It had been a dream of mine since childhood to be a WWE wrestler. I am from the Chambal valley, where kids usually have two options — to join politics or the sand mafia. But I always wanted to be a professional wrestler. Everything that happened in between — sports, acting — was by chance.”
Gurjar also mentioned that he was a die-hard WWE fan growing up and he would try to emulate the moves of Kane and The Undertaker.
“My father is a farmer and we didn’t have a TV growing up so I would watch wrestling fights at my neighbor’s place. I grew up watching people like The Undertaker, Kane, and The Rock. Kane was someone I idolized and I can’t wait to meet him. Although I’m sure if he walks up to me in the ring, I would be too stunned to say or do anything,” Gurjar said.

While it could take a while before he even starts wrestling, Gurjar has his sights set on WWE’s biggest prize.
“My goal, my zidd is simple — I want to be the WWE Heavyweight Champion. It might take time but I will get there eventually,” says Gurjar.
