The biggest name left on the market after Black Wednesday, Erick Redbeard was last seen calling out NXT UK kingpin WALTER for a match, doing so on the back of the Austrian's bruising TakeOver: Stand & Deliver bout with Tommaso Ciampa. Who wouldn't want to wrestle WALTER in current form? People with weak chests, probably.

Erick made a touching appearance on the tear-jerking Brodie Lee tribute episode of Dynamite last year. Showing up to run off some dastardly heels as various Dark Order members wrestled The Inner Circle, he couldn't contain his emotion, welling up as he stood alongside John Silver.

Wrestling wise, Redbeard last competed over WrestleMania weekend, defeating Matthew Justice on a co-promoted GCW/NPU show.
