Independent star Drake Younger, who has competed for indy companies Combat Zone Wrestling, Dragon Gate USA and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, began work this weekend for WWE at NXT live events as a referee under his real name of Drake Wuertz. Younger was signed by WWE back in March and finished up on the independent scene on April 27 against former TNA star Joey Ryan in California.
Wuertz is now on Twitter @WWEDrakeWuertz and a photo of Wuertz as a referee this past weekend has surfaced online that you can view below.
