Tim Wiese is a former German Goalkeeper who has played over 350 games but when did he make his WWE debut? 

WWE is known as a place where many talents from different sectors have tried their hands on. Former German International Goalkeeper Tim Wiese is one of them.

Wiese announced his retirement from professional football on September 17 2014, and stated, “I am not a dreamer, but a realist. Therefore, I assume that I have my best years behind me and will no longer play as a professional.”

A few days later, he claimed that he had been offered a developmental contract by WWE to join the NXT division. First, he appeared at a WWE live event in Frankfurt. Then, on June 7 2016, he was reported to accept Triple H’s invitation to train at WW’s developmental facility.
