16 Wrestlers Who Must Feature In WWE's Crown Jewel World Cup

11. Germany - Alexander Wolfe (Sidgwick)

It just wouldn’t be a World Cup without Germany, would it?

Unfortunately for Wolfe, he has more in common with the 2018 Germany squad than 2014’s winners. He’s barely turned up on SmackDown, his more famous teammate Eric Young is a bit like Mesut Özil in that nobody can work out if he’s any good, and they left a key asset in Nikki Cross at home.

Still, as a wrestler who isn’t from North America, he has done enough to warrant inclusion here, and wrestles with the sort of lunging two-footed lunacy that the early stages of the World Cup is revered for.
