And there was at least one familiar face watching on, as Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker — Wiese’s former teammate for both Germany and Werder Bremen — was among those in attendance.
Wiese joined Cesaro and Sheamus to take on Bo Dallas and The Shining Stars in a tag-team match.
And the German star ultimately gave the crowd a moment to remember as he utilised his signature body splash move before pinning his opponent for the three-count.
Wiese, who won six caps for Germany and was part of their 2010 World Cup squad, has been training at the WWE performance centre in Orlando, Florida.
