Rip Fowler

Get ready to witness the transformation of one of the U.K.’s most notorious grapplers, as Rip Fowler, formerly known as Zack Gibson, finds a new path under the guidance of The Schism’s tree.

Hailing from Liverpool, Fowler’s journey took a monumental turn when he emerged victorious in the fiercely contested second annual United Kingdom Championship Tournament in June of 2018. The pinnacle of his success came at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, where he joined forces with Jagger Reid, known as James Drake at the time, to vanquish the formidable Moustache Mountain and become the inaugural NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

Though Fowler and Reid showcased their hard-hitting style across the pond in NXT, they encountered hurdles on their path to greatness. Frustrations mounted as they sought to break through the glass ceiling. However, a beacon of hope emerged in the form of Joe Gacy, who took the duo under his wing and offered them a new sense of purpose as The Dyad.

Under the leadership of Gacy, Fowler and Reid are poised to unleash unprecedented havoc upon the NXT roster. The combined force of their raw talent and Gacy’s guidance creates an unpredictable and potent alliance that could redefine the landscape of NXT.

Prepare yourselves, for the era of Fowler and Reid as The Dyad has begun, and their reign of chaos and destruction will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the NXT universe.
