7 Non-AEW Stars That Could Be At All In London
7. Zack Gibson & James Drake
Despite being under WWE contract until 14 October, there is still a small chance we see the British duo in Wembley on 27 August.
The artists formerly known as The Grizzled Young Veterans have had a rough ride under the WWE umbrella and have struggled to really rediscover themselves. The now Rip Fowler and Jagger Reid are currently part of a failing project in Schism which is diluting two of the more experienced members of the NXT roster. Even before Joe Gacy recruited the pair, the Brits were just another team on the books and never had anything meaningful to sink their teeth into.
Then back in April, Fowler and Reid requested their release from WWE which was later denied. They continued to be on NXT TV alongside Gacy and Raine building up to a Loser Leaves NXT match with the esteemed Creed Brothers. While this would have been a good chance for The Dyad to get their wish and for WWE to say goodbye to a team they clearly don't see much in, the former Drake and Gibson won the bout.
However, WWE are yet to have their annual talent clear-out, and reports dating back to May suggest that "budget cuts" could be on the horizon. With the pair being contracted to NXT instead of the main roster, their no-compete clause is only active for 30 days opposed to the accustomed 90. It cuts it fine for Wembley, but it's not impossible.
