Joseph Buckton (born May 28, 1987) is an English professional wrestler. He wrestles under the ring name Joseph Conners. He most recently performed for WWE as a part of their UK Championship Tournament. Conners competed in many British wrestling promotions, most notably New Generation Wrestling (NGW) and What Culture Pro Wrestling (WCPW), where he was a one-time WCPW World Champion. He is set to feud aginst Sir Blake for the world championship in very controversial style.
On 24 August 2016, at WCPW Stacked, Conners defeated Big Damo, Joe Hendry (whom he had betrayed) and Rampage in a Fatal four-way match to become WCPW World Champion. Conners would successfully defend the championship against El Ligero, Drew Galloway, Martin Kirby, Cody Rhodes and Joe Hendry, at various WCPW events, as well as against "Darkside" James Scott outside of WCPW territory. At Delete: WCPW on 30 November 2016, Conners lost the championship to Drew Galloway in a triple threat match, also featuring Joe Hendry.
At WCPW KirbyMania, Conners returned for the first time since signing his WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament contract, attacking Joe Hendry during his match with Drake, setting up a no holds barred match between the two, ultimately losing via submission in what is said to have been his last ever match in WCPW.
On 15 December 2016 it was revealed that Conners would be one of 16 men competing in a two-night tournament to crown the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion on 14 and 15 January 2017. Conners defeated James Drake in the first round, advancing to the quarter finals, where he was defeated by Mark Andrews.
