Dante Chen

Sean Tan Li Hao (born January 20, 1996) is a Singaporean professional wrestler.

He is currently signed to WWE where he performs on the NXT brand, under the ring name Dante Chen.

He is best known for being the first Singaporean and Southeast Asian wrestler to sign with the WWE.

Tan was born in Singapore on January 20, 1996.

As a child, he was introduced to professional wrestling through the WWE video games, by his elder brother.

After becoming a fan of the games he would begin to watch WWE, and eventually fall in love with professional wrestling.

Tan wanted to become the first Singaporean professional wrestler but was shocked to find out that Andruew Tang had already claimed this title.

After running into Tang at a gym, he would learn of Singapore Pro Wrestling and would eventually join as a trainee in 2013.

At first, Tan's parents were not supportive of his wrestling desire as they believed it was violent, however after learning of Tan's success they eventually became supportive.

Tan joined Singapore Pro Wrestling (SPW) in January 2013, as a trainee after running into SPW founder Andruew Tang at a gym.

He trained under SPW founders Tang and Vadim Koryagin.

Tan debuted under the ring name Trexxus on 31 January at SPW New Year Rumble, facing Sebastian Turini.

His debut was after just 4 weeks of training, earning him the national record for the fastest debut.

Trexxus would hold that record for over 9 years until it was beaten by Varun Khanna in 2022.

In 2014 he teamed with Tang, forming a tag team known as Onslaught.

The duo would win the inaugural SPW Tag Team Championship, defeating MK & Affi at SPW: Breakthrough.

Onslaught would defend their title against Bit Man and Ho Ho Lun at SPW Prove 3.

From 2015 to 2017, Tan served in the Singapore Armed Forces for two years as part of his national service commitments.

On 10 May 2015, Onslaught was forced to relinquish their tag team championships due to Trexxus's national service commitments.

The duo would be joined by Destroyer Dharma, who become an ally of Trexxus.

In 2017, tensions would rise with his tag team partner, Tang.

The two faced each other in January, and Tang lost his SPW Southeast Asian Championship to Trexxus at SPW Unchained In Changi, becoming the youngest ever SPW SEA Champion, at just 21 years old.

In March, Trexxus defeated Jason Lee at SPW: Painfully Famous, retaining his championship.

In October, Trexxus defeated Masahiro Takanashi to retain his championship.

In December, Trexxus defeated EK Baki, retaining his championship once again.

In February 2018, Trexxus faced Lokomotiv, however the match ended in DQ after Trexxus used his title belt to strike Lokomotiv.

GM Carl Hella restarted the match, but this time it was a chairs match, which resulted in Lokomotiv defeating Trexxus, to win his SEA championship.

In 2018, Trexxus would team with Tang and Aiden Rex to defeat the trio of Pete Dunne, Wolfgang and Mark Davis in a 3 on 3 match.

In his final years in SPW, he chased the SPW SEA Championship many times, participating in rivalries with Aiden Rex and The Statement.

Trexxus attempted to win the SEA belt for the second time at SPW Atonement in a four way against Jake de Leon, Lokomotiv and Tang, however, Tang would win the bout.

In 2019, he would take part in a 6-man tag team match alongside Tang, and Da Butcherman where they would face Cima, Shaolin Monk and world-renowned wrestler, Kenny Omega.

Later that year Trexxus and Da Butcherman would lose to Tang, in a three-way for the SEA title at SPW Suplex City.

In 2019, Tan was invited for WWE tryouts in Shanghai, alongside Andruew Tang, and Alexis Lee.

During the tryout Tan would appear of WWE social media, stating he wanted to one day be a WWE Hall of Famer.

He was recruited immediately after the tryouts, but only went to Orlando, Florida, in April 2021 after he had completed his studies and a delay due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Tan debuted on 22 September 2021 on the NXT brand under the ring name "Dante Chen", winning his first match against Trey Baxter on the newly renamed show, NXT 2.0.

He studied business at ITE College West, and subsequently studied for a diploma in health management and promotion at Republic Polytechnic in 2020.

In February 2020, Trexxus faced Aiden Rex in his final live SPW match.

At SPW Prove: Alive & Kicking #1, Dharma would turn on Onslaught, teaming with Aiden Rex to defeat Tang and Trexxus.

In May 2021, at SPW Prove: Alive & Kicking #5, Trexxus wrestled his final match in SPW in a SPW Southeast Asian Title vs Career Match against The Statement, where he was ultimately defeated after a long and grueling match, officially exiting the promotion after nearly 9 years.
