MLW has added new talent to its roster, as Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang (FKA Gallus) have officially signed with the promotion. The trio made their debut at Battle Riot VIII and will now compete under the name GBOT, which stands for Glasgow Boys on Top.

According to Sports Illustrated, the group sees Major League Wrestling as a strong platform to showcase their abilities following their WWE release in May 2025. Speaking about their decision, Joe Coffey explained why MLW stood out as the right fit.

“Well, you know, we were part of MLW’s Battle Riot in Kissimmee, Florida, and it seemed like a good fit,” Coffey said. “We wanted to go and show what we could do. And it just seemed like a really good environment to be in. Especially like getting a taste of the Battle Riot. MLW has a deep and talented roster, and a lot of people who I really want to go mix it up with, so hopefully the MLW fans just get a slight taste of what I, Mark, and Wolfy are about.”

The rebranded group is looking to establish a new identity while building on their experience from previous runs in major promotions. Coffey also addressed the meaning behind the GBOT name and the mindset the group is bringing into MLW.

“We are the GBOT. It stands for a lot of things, but it’s Glasgow Boys on Top. We’re from Glasgow, and that’s the mentality we have. I’ve done my time, just playing my part and being a good soldier. You know, Killer Kross, I’m not really interested in him. I’m interested in what he’s got around his waist, to be honest. But, like him, we have a familiarity, GBOT. It means one thing: I’m not here to just play a part. I’m here to really establish myself and who I am, because before my time for the past couple of years that I’ve had in other companies, I was a world-traveling superstar. I was wrestling people from Hall of Famers to world champions. I’m not here just to make up any numbers. I’m here to show what Joe Coffey is all about and what I can do, and I’ll be leaving my mark as well.”

With their arrival, GBOT adds depth to MLW’s roster and brings a team with international experience and clear intent. Their debut at Battle Riot VIII could be the start of a strong run as they look to establish themselves quickly in the promotion.
