Barry Young is a Scottish wrestler and performs under the ring name Wolfgang. He currently plies his trade in WWE NXT UK. He has worked for Insane Championship Wrestling and is a former ICW World Champion and Zero-G Champion. 

During the first UK Championship tournament in 2017, Wolfgang shocked the world. He outlasted Tyson T-Bone and Trent Seven before losing to Tyler Bate in the Quarterfinals. His excellent performance led to an NXT contract. Subsequently, Wolfgang would challenge Pete Dunne in 2017 of the championship, see video below. However, was attacked by Undisputed Era. His prominence diminished until returning in the second UK Championship tournament.

Wolfgang has excellent ring credentials. He has aerial ability rarely seen with heavyweights. Moreover, his character is popular with fans. Overall, he has immense potential to be a champion. Facing Pete Dunne would be beneficial to Wolfgang and for the championship.
