Wrestling Company Making Big Play For Emerging Prospect (Patreon)

Ben Carter has made quite the impression of late. He had a breakout performance against Lee Johnson on Dark, and then appeared on Late Night Dynamite against Scorprio Sky. Before those matches, however, he filmed a match with IMPACT Wrestling that ran this week. He's had looks and interest from both companies, but Fightful has learned that NXT UK has made a major play to land Ben Carter in recent weeks. Carter was very open with Fightful that his residential status affected him in ROH, and kept him from getting paid. The NXT UK deal would circumvent that and keep him closer to home. The last we'd heard from the WWE side of things was that a deal had not been reached as of yet, but that they felt they had it "in the bag."
