Former Germany international Tim Wiese is set to make his WWE debut at a live event in Munich’s Olympiahalle, on November 3rd. The 34-year-old will team with Sheamus and Cesaro in a six man tag team match against The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) and Bo Dallas.
“It’s awesome to make my first WWE appearance in such a great match,” said Wiese. “I worked hard for this moment and I can’t wait to step into the WWE ring together with Cesaro and Sheamus.”
Wiese was personally invited to train with WWE by Triple H, the 14-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative.
Wiese jumped at the opportunity and has undertaken an intensive training program to prepare for the match. In early September, he spent a week at the state-of-the-art WWE NXT Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, training with other NXT athletes in WWE’s developmental division, under the guidance of the NXT coaching team and here’s some footage of the big German in action.
