Power Ranking All 16 Competitors In The WWE UK Tournament
13. James Drake
James Drake's stock on the British independent wrestling scene has only grown since his appearance in the last UK Tournament. He has since become one of the stalwarts of PROGRESS Wrestling, winning the tag team championship twice as one half of Grizzled Young Veterans with fellow tournament competitor Zack Gibson.
The Blackpool grappler, known as Mr Mayhem, lost to Joseph Conners in the first round of the last UK Tournament. He recently made a return to WWE television as part of a six-man tag team with Conners and WWE superstar Drew Gulak on the special UK episode of 205 Live. It was the other side of that match, which included a tournament frontrunner in Flash Morgan Webster, that got most of the shine on TV.
It's against Webster that Drake will compete in the first round of this tournament and, as a result, it's tough to imagine a scenario in which Drake beats his performance from last year.
