German soccer player Tim Wiese has accepted an invitation from Triple H to train at the WWE Performance Center ... and he wants to be prepared for a match in the next few months.

Wiese told WWE.com he plans to be ring ready by November -- the same month WWE returns to Germany -- and adds, "I have been training hard for this, and I am excited for the opportunity."

The 6'4" goalkeeper played for Germany's national team from 2008 to 2012. He served as a guest timekeeper at a WWE Live Event in Frankfurt in 2014 and interjected himself into the match, creating speculation about a future with the company.

Wiese continued to make suggestive statements in 2015, prompting an invitation for a one-day workout at the Performance Center. Triple H suggested a longer stay after the goalie made a solid impression on the trainers, and now Tim has finally taken him up on the offer.

Will Wiese become WWE's newest international Superstar? That's certainly his goal. (Get it?)
