Wolfgang is no stranger to the Braehead Arena, having proposed to his wife Molly Spartin in front of a sold-out hockey crowd in 2019 while representing the Glasgow Clan.
Molly will also be performing at the wrestling event, representing the Fife Flyers as she takes on Angel Hayze.
(Image: Supplied) The show will also feature the "Three Amigos" of Scottish wrestling: Grado, Jack Jester, and Mark Dallas.
The trio gained fame through their 2014 documentary Insane Fight Club and have since achieved considerable success in the television industry.
Grado stars in Two Doors Down, Jack Jester is known for his role in The Scots, and Mark Dallas has found international success as a TV producer for WXM, a professional wrestling company based in India.
Clan Wrestling's first event in March drew more than 1,500 fans, despite competing directly with WWE, which was running the same week.
The company offers an affordable alternative, with ticket prices starting at just £10, compared to WWE's starting prices of £300.
The event on September 6 will open its VIP Meet & Greet doors at 1pm, with general admission doors opening at 3pm.
Tickets are on sale now at braeheadarena.co.uk/events/clan-wrestling.

Social media scammers set up accounts targeting Harry Potter stars
Bogus pages have popped up after Scottish actor Dominic McLaughlin was announced as the boy wizard Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHAMEFUL scammers have set up a string of fake social media accounts pretending to be Harry Potter star Dominic McLaughlin, we can reveal. Bogus pages - claiming to be run by his parents - have popped up weeks after it emerged the Scots kid actor will appear in HBO's TV adaptation of the famous book series. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Scammers have set up a number of accounts in the child actor's name 4 It comes after Dominic McLaughlin was announced as star of the HBO series 4 The series is set to be released late next year 4 Arabella Stanton, Dominic McLaughlin, and Alastair Stout will be in the main roles Dominic, from Glasgow, beat thousands of others for the boy wizard lead role. But weeks after he was announced as playing Harry Potter, online weirdos have now taken advantage of his rising public profile by impersonating him on the internet. PR consultant Mark Borkowski warned the young actor's team should jump into action and protect him. He said: 'The issue is that, particularly when you get thrust into the public arena these days, you become public property very quickly. 'And getting this break is going to be enormous. But, as we've seen in the past with other young stars, it's also a bit of a curse. 'The younger you are, obviously there's rules and regulations, but the badlands of the internet don't sort of grip the same principles. 'There's a huge Harry Potter fan base, as we know, and there's been a lot of expectation for this latest version of it. 'It will all come down to protecting him because of his age and allowing him to grow up against a backdrop of a huge amount of attention on him, both on and offline. And that is incredibly difficult to manage.' One Instagram account in Dominic's name has dozens of photos of the actor, and hundreds of followers. A bio says: 'Young actor. Playing Harry Potter in HBO's new series. Account managed by parents.' Toy Show star lands major role in Harry Potter A string of posts claim to be documenting his journey with the account boasting of 'bringing my best to Harry Potter', 'another change to make a bit of magic happen' and thanking fans for their support. Another 'parent managed account' in Dominic's name has links to channel HBO and streaming platform Stream On MAX. Alex Dowal, of the Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland, warned most social media operators are struggling to take down fake profiles. He said: 'It's not actually a crime to set up a profile in someone's name. 'It goes against the terms and conditions of Facebook and Instagram. Unfortunately, the scale of policing that is virtually non-existent. 'It becomes a crime if you are seeking to benefit from pretending to be someone else. 'It probably wouldn't take long before some fake endorsements using his profile come out. That would consitute fraud.' We told how the cast were revealed by Warner Bros last month with film bosses pledging a 'faithful adaptation' of the books by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling. Earlier this week, the writer said she had read the first two episodes, adding: 'They are so, so, so good.' A spokeswoman for Warner Bros Discovery said: 'We won't be commenting at this time.'

St Paul's Cathedral strict eligibility rules for couples as Mel B ties the knot
Spice Girl Mel B and new husband Rory McPhee tied the knot in style earlier today, with the happy couple exchanging vows at St Paul's Cathedral Mel B has married for the third time. The Spice Girls star – who was previously married to Jimmy Gulzar between 1998 and 2000 and Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2016 – tied the knot with Rory McPhee at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Saturday. Mel, 50, wore a traditional white gown, adorned with pearls for the wedding, while her new husband Rory, 37, wore a traditional Scottish tartan kilt. The happy couple posed for pictures on the steps of the historic venue and shared a kiss. The happy couple tied the knot at St Paul's Cathedral - usually a very exclusive venue when it comes to weddings. Around 30 couples marry inside the iconic building but as St Paul's is not a parish church, there are conditions on who can be married there. On the official website, St Paul's Catherdral states: "We are able to marry members of: the Order of the British Empire, and their children, the Order of St Michael and St George, and their children, the Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor, and their children, and the Cathedral Community (staff and volunteers, including Cathedral School, subject to length of service), and their children." Mel was given permission to wed in because she was awarded an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. Following the ceremony inside St Paul's, a reception at The Shard was booked for after the ceremony. Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl in attendance, accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17. Other celebrities included Mel's sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan and Gaby Roslin. There was no sign of Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm. However, Victoria shared her well wishes via social media, posting on her Instagram Stories. She wrote: 'Congratulations @officialmelb and @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn't be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! Kisses xx.' She also shared a photo of herself and Mel B at an event together and captioned it, 'Sending you love @officialmelb. @rorymcphee is a very lucky man!' Meanwhile, Mel's children Phoenix Chi, Madison and Angel Iris all attended the ceremony. Mel and Rory have known each other for years but didn't start dating until 2018 and they got engaged four years later. Rory is a "family friend" of Mel's cousin, Christian Cooke, with the pair having gone to school together. Speaking about the proposal, Rory previously told HELLO! Magazine: "I was so nervous, my lips were trembling. I'd spent ages writing down all these things I wanted to say, but when it came to it, I just babbled." Mel responded: "Oh no, it was lovely, what you said. He told me he loved me, that I was his best friend and that he wanted to be with me for the rest of our lives."
