2012 U.S. Olympic wrestler Chas Betts announced that he has signed a developmental contract and will begin training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. "I am proud to announce I have signed a contract with WWE and begin training tomorrow at the WWE Performance Center here in Florida," Betts wrote on his Facebook page.



"For those that have known me a long time, you know being a pro-wrestler has been a dream of mine since I was 11 or 12 years old. I'm honored and humbled by the opportunity. I am extremely lucky to have a wife and family that has supported me in every dream I've chosen to chase, however unlikely it may be. Never underestimate the power of a good support system, people!"
