SINGAPORE – Wrestler Sean Tan continued to make history as he became the first Singaporean to appear on elite promotion company World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) long-running weekly Smackdown show on Friday (23 February).
The 28-year-old, who took on the moniker Dante Chen upon joining WWE, is also the first Singaporean wrestler to appear on a US national television network, with Smackdown being televised live on Fox from Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Tan faced Bron Breakker, a highly-touted American professional wrestling sensation,
who was also making his Smackdown debut. Despite landing an acrobatic drop-kick against Breakker early on, Tan was eventually overpowered as his 26-year-old opponent showed off his brute strength, clinching the victory with a devastating spear manoeuvre.
