Of the few non-British competitors in this tournament, the one most likely to ascend the summit of the field is Travis Banks. The fierce competitor known as the Kiwi Buzzsaw has made the UK his home for the last few years, most notably as the reigning PROGRESS Wrestling Champion. The holders of PROGRESS gold have an impressive record in the WWE UK division, with both Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne also winning championships in the London-based company.

Banks is an aggressive wrestler, proficient in karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as amateur wrestling. These various disciplines create a hybrid style that makes Banks a compelling man to watch in the ring.

Based on the bracket for the UK Tournament, Banks should be a shoo-in to make the semi finals. He is then likely to come up against the intimidating heft of either Joe Coffey or Dave Mastiff in order to earn a spot in the final. It's a tough ask, but Banks thrives on overcoming odds.
