Brogan Finlay makes WWE NXT debut, gets new name

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Brogan Finlay, the son of WWE Performance Center coach and former wrestler Fit Finlay, has made his WWE television debut with a new name.

Brogan Finlay has been rechristened Uriah Connors in NXT, and debuted on Tuesday’s Roadblock edition of the show in a quick loss to the returning Shawn Spears. 

Connors was part of a tryout in September 2023 and his signing was reported last December. He made his NXT debut at a live event last month with a loss to Charlie Dempsey, the son of WWE’s William Regal. 

As Brogan Finlay, Connors made his pro debut in 2021 on the independent scene. He later worked NJPW events in the United States in 2021 and 2022, including teaming with his brother David in his NJPW debut match. David was the inaugural IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion before dropping that title to Nic Nemeth last month. 

Connors also worked for GCW, Wrestling Revolver, and Black Label Pro during his time on the independents.

Brogan Finlay, the youngest child of Fit Finlay, is reportedly set for a WWE tryout.

PWInsider reports that WWE will be holding tryouts at the company’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida this week. The 21-year-old Brogan is the first name that’s been confirmed for the tryout.

Brogan had his first match in 2021. He trained at AR Fox’s WWA4 Wrestling School in Atlanta, Georgia.

Brogan’s father Fit Finlay is a trainer/coach at the WWE Performance Center.

David Finlay, Brogan’s older brother, is a star for NJPW and is the current leader of Bullet Club.

In 2020, Fit Finlay spoke about Brogan during an appearance on WWE’s The Bump.

“My younger son Brogan is 17, I’ve got him in the ring,” Fit said. “He’s the tallest of [Fit’s children] and he says he’s going to be better than all of us. Brogan’s always up for a challenge. He’s a tough dude.”

GCW is among the independent promotions that Brogan wrestles for. Brogan also had three matches on NJPW Strong between 2021 and 2022.
