In this finale episode there are a number of key matches to look out for with two tag-team partners also squaring off along the way.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa meet as they look to find out who the better man out of the two is.

Jack Gallagher

The hard hitting British performer is not here to be fancy by any means as he will look to instill his tough gentleman like persona against any that he comes up against.

The grappler has worked all around the world including Japan and also has a couple of mixed martial arts wins under his belt with the most recent taking place earlier this year in April.

Gallagher is almost a ten-year veteran as he debuted in November 2006 and since then has picked up a number of titles including:

Fabian Aichner

From first impressions this performer who wrestles in Europe under the name Adrian Severe rightly instills a sense of fear as his building trapezius muscles present him as a monster performer.

At 6 ft the Italian wrestler has already accomplished much in his home nation and even branched out to Switzerland, Austria and Bavaria and is planning to expand his dominance in the United States.

One of the few competitors that will need little introduction as the performer has not only been prominent on the independent scene but he is also a part of the NXT roster. 

Gargano’s opponent is interestingly his partner in NXT, Tommaso Ciampa but they will be hoping their match together can only increase their trust in one another.

The 28-year-old held the Open the Dragon Gate Championship longer than anyone during his time in Dragon Gate, having the belt for over 800 days from 2011 to 2014.

Having begun training when he was just 14-years-old he quickly fell in with a bad crowd but he is now firmly on the right track to success and in life. 

Having competed in many top promotions and been successful he is hoping to continue that trend in WWE.

Jason Lee

One of Hong Kong’s finest performers and a firm favorite of Triple H, Lee has a lot resting on his shoulders.

The Asian performer trained at the gym established by fellow Cruiserweight Performer Ho Ho Lun.

Despite lacking in accomplishments this should only serve as extra motivation for the young performer to work harder with the chance he has been given.
