Another deserving candidate for a crack at the WWE system, the 30-year old Wolfgang managed to shine during all three of his matches on the WWE Network. Tyson T-Bone was really only there to make the Glaswegian look good, something that was achieved during the six-minute bout between both men. Deceptively agile for his size (Wolfgang weighs around 255lbs), the Scot has a genuine upside.

On the independent circuit, Wolfgang has shown he can work effectively as both heel and babyface. That's quite rare: most pro wrestlers settle into a groove as one or the other. Being able to flip that switch and exist successfully on both sides of the fence is rarely a given.

Against both Trent Seven in the quarter finals and Tyler Bate at the semi final stage, Wolfgang came across workmanlike and with clear potential. This won't come as a surprise to anybody who has watched him in promotions like ICW, where Wolfgang puts his all into every performance.

Wrestling since 2003, Wolfgang could also impart his vast knowledge to younger stars in NXT.
