One of the UK’s brightest up-and-coming wrestling talents,
Tommy Tanner, joined PWMania.com for an exclusive interview.
The rising star spoke with PWMania.com’s Andy London about
his WWE ambitions, the grind of the British indie scene, the
uncertainty around NXT Europe, and much more. You can read

Here are some highlights:
On WWE ambitions:
“Absolutely. WWE was my goal when I set out to become a
wrestler, and that hasn’t changed. I’ve been grafting hard
so when the opportunity comes, I’ll be ready.”
On the grind of British wrestling:
“The travel’s definitely the toughest part, because it
knocks onto everything else. You’re up late on the road,
grabbing food where you can, then you’re straight back into
training the next day. Trying to balance all of that isn’t
easy. But that’s the job, and if you want to make it you’ve
got to crack on, no excuses.”
On the uncertainty around NXT Europe:
“It’s always disappointing when a pathway like that
disappears, but I don’t think you can rely on one option.
The indie scene in the UK and across Europe is thriving
right now, and there are plenty of international companies
to aim for. For me, it’s about working hard, building
momentum, and making enough noise that the bigger
opportunities come.”
Tommy also opened up about some of his funniest fan
interactions, his most bizarre backstage encounter, his
dream match with AJ Styles, and much more. You can check out
