Speaking of Cruiserweight stars, Noam Dar is one of WWE's newest to the high-flying division. Competing in the Cruiserweight Classic tournament, Dar has since been signed to a full-time contract and drafted to Monday Night Raw. None of that would have happened had he not quickly phoned WWE back following a missed call.

During a chat with The Metro, Noam revealed that he failed to spot his phone lighting up when the biggest promotion on the planet came calling. None other than William Regal was trying to get in touch with Dar this past January, unfortunately missing the Scot and finding his call going straight to voicemail.

Incredibly, Noam was playing FIFA on PS4 at the time. It was only when he paused the game that the exciting young performer noticed what had happened. Returning the call, Dar was shocked to learn that Regal was looking to offer him a WWE contract.

Linking to the newspaper story on Twitter, Noam said that he went on to lose the FIFA match 2-0. Undoubtedly, that loss was worth it.
