WWE.com posted the following, announcing Danny Burch’s arrival at the WWE Performance Center as a full-time contracted talent:
NXT Superstar Danny Burch is now a full-time member of the WWE Performance Center roster.
The battle-tested Briton, a familiar face to NXT fans, has signed a WWE contract. He reported for training today at WWE’s Orlando, Fla.-based facility.
A 15-year ring veteran from East London, England, Burch was a member of WWE’s developmental system from 2012 to 2014, and he has been a regular competitor inside the yellow ropes since then as well. He also wrestled in the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament in 2017. More recently, Burch has found success in NXT’s Tag Team division, forming a popular smash-mouth alliance with Oney Lorcan.
A free-agent competitor for the last four years, “The Guv’nor” fought NXT Superstars on WWE Networkwhile maintaining a busy schedule on the independent wrestling circuit. After competing in a match two weekends ago for the New England-based Beyond Wrestling, Burch took to Twitter to acknowledge his new journey ahead and to express gratitude to his supporters.
Please join WWE in throwing up a victory sign for the WWE PC’s newest addition.
It was announced last week that Burch (aka Martin Stone) had signed a full-time deal with WWE; he has worked on a sporadic basis for NXT since 2015. Burch joins Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke as the other names also reporting to the WWE PC today.
