LEO KRUGER

Bo Rotundo was revealed to have sustained a lacerated kidney as a result of his intense schedule in defending the Florida Heavyweight Championship. The General Manager of FCW, Maxine, un derstanding the magnitude of this unfortunate event, had no choice but to declare the title vacant, and conceived of a unique way to determine the new Florida Heavyweight Champion.

Maxine held a two-round tournament, with Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Husky Harris, Big E Langston, Damien Sandow, Leakee, Percy Watson and Leo Kruger competing to qualify for a spot in a Fatal Four Way Match. The winner of the Fatal Four Way would then be crowned the new Florida Heavyweight Champion.

Competition was fierce, as the richest prize in WWE's Talent Development System was on the line. Husky Harris, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose and Leo Kruger all advance to the Fatal Four Way Match, and Leo Kruger eventually emerged victorious after a physical and emotional battle. Leo Kruger, who has claimed to be 'A walking, talking, living, breathing main event' proved himself correct, after submitting Damien Sandow to his deadly Sleeper Hold, and being only the 13th man ever to claim the Florida Heavyweight Championship.

Leo took one more step closer to realizing his dream on September 1st. After traveling thousands of miles from his homeland of South Africa to take a chance on making it in FCW, the self-proclaimed 'King of Africa' has reached the top of FCW, and begins his reign as the Florida Heavyweight Champion in regal fashion.
