Kruger did not just make a name for himself by defeating members of The Shield. He also gained notoriety by knocking off some of today's most prominent WWE Superstars. One of his most fierce rivals was a young Husky Harris, who is known worldwide to wrestling fans today as Bray Wyatt. The two competitors feuded between 2010 and 2011 with Kruger winning the battles more often than not. During that time period, he also defeated current Intercontinental champion Big E., Damien Sandow, former tag team partner Justin Gabriel, JTG and current Paul Heyman Guy, Cesaro. Kruger amassed quite the impressive resume of victories while in developmental and his history of matches against current main roster stars will only help him integrate himself from an in-ring perspective when he finally does debut on Raw.
