Tim Wiese is a well-known German international footballer who has made a number of appearances for his country at international level as well as playing in goal for the likes of Werder Bremen and 1899 Hoffenheim throughout his career.

Wiese was approached by Triple H back in 2014 and it appears that the company offered him the chance to train at their state of the art Performance Center.

Wiese was spotted as a guest timekeeper for a WWE live event in Frankfurt later that year before it was reported in the summer of 2016 that Wiese had accepted Triple H's invitation.

He made his in-ring debut at a WWE Live event in Munich as part of a team with Cesaro and Sheamus as they took on the Shining Stars and Bo Dallas in the fall of 2016.

Wiese hasn't been seen as part of WWE events since, but there have been no reports of him being released from the company either.
