Drake followed in the UK trend of getting into the business early, beginning his training at age 13, and therefore building over ten years of experience, despite still being in his twenties. Working with FutureShock Wrestling, AllStar Wrestling, and recently PROGRESS, Drake has been steadily building his resume and reputation in the UK scene, and has a major opportunity to burst to the head of the line in the British scene if he’s able to come away as the first WWE United Kingdom Champion. Much was made of Cedric Alexander’s dramatic weight cut before the CWC, and Daniel Bryan made a point to mention how much he believed that helped Alexander. WWE.com has noted that Drake has made a similar change, dropping his body fat from 22% to only 11% in preparation for this tournament.
