The WWE UK championship is now over a year old<\/a>, yet there is still no word on the launch of a WWE UK brand. Meanwhile, the British independent wrestling scene has continued to grow and get the attention of fans around the world. The huge success in recent years of British stars like Finn Balor, Sheamus, Paige<\/strong> and Drew McIntyre<\/strong> (plus many more), along with the hard work of everyone in the UK scene and the growth of companies like ICW, RevPro, OTT<\/strong> and PROGRESS<\/strong> have brought the country out of a slump of several decades. Now that the UK scene is on more people\u2019s radar, British wrestlers are getting more opportunities, whether it be with WWE, Impact, ROH, NJPW<\/strong> or a huge number of international independents, Britain is being recognised as the hotbed of talent that it has been for years. There are so many incredible talents in the UK who deserve to be given a bigger platform that it would be impossible to include them all, but with the launch of the WWE UK brand on the horizon (hopefully), there should be some further talent acquisitions to expand and complement the already excellent roster.<\/p>\n

As this is a male-only brand so far (from what we can tell), I have only included male talents, but rest assured there are more than enough talented females to make a list of their own. There are also some wrestlers, like Marty Scurll, Nick Aldis, Will Ospreay<\/strong> etc. who are all enjoying great success on other international stages at the moment that would make it unlikely or impossible for them to be available for an immediate jump to WWE, or they would have all been included. Without doubt, this still leaves a vast selection to choose from, so who should WWE be looking at to expand their WWE UK roster (in no particular order)?<\/p>\n

This former Rugby player from Batley, West Yorkshire is everything WWE usually look for in their recruitment process. He\u2019s big, he\u2019s tough and has a credible sports background, having played for several respected Rugby League teams. Having already had the experience of a WWE tryout, he is a known prospect who will continue to be under WWE\u2019s watchful eye as he continues his training under UK legend Marty Jones<\/strong> (who also happens to have been William Regal<\/strong>\u2019s trainer) and gets some more experience under his belt. Experience is probably the only factor that has prevented him from being signed already, so don\u2019t be surprised if this relative newcomer to the game is heading out to the Performance Center in Florida to hone his skills sometime very soon.<\/p>\n
