The 7-foot-2 pro basket baller who made history by becoming the first Indian-born player drafted to the NBA, Satnam Singh had a tryout at the WWE performance center.

Satnam Singh has WWE tryout

Twenty-one-year-old Singh made headlines when he was selected in the second round of the 2015 NBA draft by the Dallas Mavericks. Hailing from the small Indian village of Ballo Ke, the towering center is listed on the roster of the NBA D-League’s Legends team.

He was also the subject of a recently released Netflix documentary titled “One in a Billion,” which details Singh’s remarkable journey to professional basketball.

Apart from Singh, “American Ninja Warrior” sensation Kacy Catanzaro, who came to fame in 2014 when she became the first woman to complete “American Ninja Warrior’s” perilous city finals course.

Nicknamed “Mighty Kacy,” the 26-year-old — who was a Division I gymnast before turning to obstacle course racing — has twice made “Sports Illustrated’s” “Fittest 50” list of the world’s top female athletes.

The workouts cap off a busy week at the WWE Performance Center, which greeted not only the arrival of three previously announced Chinese signees, but also four new female recruits from the U.S.
