Don't expect to see Cumbrian man mountain Johnny Moss on episodes of Raw or SmackDown any time soon, because the former WCPW Tag-Team Champion has signed on to work at the WWE Performance Center. Mossy's role is a backstage one, but it caps a lifelong dream to work for wrestling's biggest company.

Good pals with WWE talent scout and Performance Center guru William Regal, Moss has been wrestling since the late-'90s and brings a wealth of experience to his new coaching role. That experience was there for all to see in WCPW. Johnny worked hard to mentor young Liam Slater, and the pair became the first WCPW Tag Champs at DELETE WCPW.

They faced off on iPPV recently too, and it was Moss who did the honours for his protégé at Refuse To Lose 2017. That would be Johnny's last appearance in WCPW, and whilst he won't be part of Defiant Wrestling, everyone involved in the company wishes him well in WWE.
