Check out our Power Rankings to see who left as the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion.
Honorable Mention: Joseph Connors: Even in defeat to the upstart Mark Andres, Connors is a dangerous and deadly performer with plenty of charisma. Once the WWE begins their UK programming on the WWE Network, expect him to play a huge part.
WOW: Tommy End/Neville: These two put on a clinic that stole the show and made End’s eventual NXT debut an exciting one and continued to ensure that Neville continues to be one of the most entertaining stars in the WWE.
5: Trent Seven: Just like Connors, Seven was anything but awful in defeat and figures to play a huge role in the WWE’s development in the United Kingdom. With his Seven-Star Lariat, there aren’t many that can escape his wrath.
4: Mark Andrews: Just weeks after he left TNA, Andrews had the match of his life with Pete Dunne to establish himself in a way he never did in two and a half years in TNA. This guy has a bright future, not only when the WWE gets their UK programming off the ground, but as someone who can come into the Cruiserweight Division on 205 Live and be a force.
3: Wolfgang: The ICW Champion put on a heck of a show and beat Trent Seven, one of the favorites, to reach the semifinals. Even in defeat to the 19-year-old prodigy Tyler Bate, Wolfgang didn’t disappoint anyone. 250-pound men don’t do Senton Bombs, but Wolfgang isn’t your average man- he’s the king of Scotland.
2: Pete Dunne: A heck of a heel and someone who could hang with anyone in the WWE Cruiserweight Division, Dunne has nothing to be ashamed of in defeat.
1: Tyler Bate: The first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion, Bate is a marvel. Just 19-years-old, he’s the future of wrestling in the UK.
