– WWE has released a new video showcasing Amir Jordan, who will be taking part in the upcoming WWE UK Tournament in London, England. You can check out that video for the latest UK Tournament competitor in the player below.

Jordan stated in the video: “My in-ring style is a mix of high-flying and traditional British wrestling, and that comes from the training I’ve received. I’ve trained with Marty Jones in the United Kingdom and learned a lot of the classical British style. I’ve been out in Canada to train with Lance Storm and that gave me a good basis of fundamentals, in terms of foundation, and you bring my flair & my character into that, it’s definitely something that people won’t have seen before, and I think I’ll surprise a lot of people in this tournament. A lot of people may not know who I am but they’ve never seen anyone like me before in the WWE Universe.”
