WWE has numerous wrestlers on their roster with a family legacy in professional wrestling. Dave ‘Fit’ Finlay, an iconic star during his WWE tenure, now sees another family member joining the company to carry on the wrestling traditions.
Brogan Finlay, son of Dave Finlay, has officially inked a contract with WWE NXT and is scheduled to join the Performance Center in Orlando soon. This addition to the WWE roster establishes Brogan Finlay as a fourth-generation talent, continuing the wrestling legacy within the family.
Who is Brogan Finlay?
Brogan Finlay, the son of wrestling veteran Dave Finlay, is currently signed with WWE as a trainer/assistant coach, who trains new wrestlers that will make their debut in the future. He trained future WWE champions like John Cena and ‘The Viper’ Randy Orton and was eventually put in charge by WWE to train the Divas for the company, and prepare them for their future matches.
Brogan Finlay’s grandfather, David “Dave” Finlay Sr., and his great grandfather were professional wrestlers, which explains the long tradition of the family and the overall family tree line of the Finlay family.
Brogan is not the only superstar that WWE signed, former NWA Women’s Tag Team Champion Madi Wrenkowski recently tried out for WWE, and the independent star’s status has been made official by WWE. Wrenowski is mainly from Texas and is popular for some of her AEW appearances. Both Finlay and Wrenkowski will get to wrestle in the NXT brand of WWE.
