WWE has just crowned its first Scottish WWE Champion, so why not go all-in on the good guys from north of the border? Especially as the impending collapse of the United Kingdom will almost certainly ensure some media coverage. Establish an English heel, have a group of plucky Celtic heroes vanquish him. It practically writes itself.

The latest season of Outlander has been a little ropey, the whispering integrity of Jamie Fraser remains undiminished. Fraser is the definitive handsome Highland warrior, a fearless soldier with credibility, bravery, honour and magnetism etched into his Tartan heart.

The wrestling world is always in need of better babyfaces, and using Jamie Fraser as a template isn’t the worst idea WWE could have. That being said, it should steer clear of the murders, sexual liaisons, torture and the rest. Such a gimmick could be a way to repackage one of the Coffey boys, once this whole ‘Gallus’ thing comes to an end.
