He was on the one Progress show I watched. He could have good matches with Rusev.

I just don't see how this works out for him unless he stays in NXT forever.

^ That's Triple H talking about where he's taking things. WALTER gets to stay at home & keep doing the training for the wXw school like he wants while also being one of the main faces of NXT UK. Probably end up like Dunne & some of them & come over to work NXT from time to time.

WTF is this Walter who?

Expand your minds. If you know who Dolph Ziggler is but not WALTER, you lauce

Preach.

These folks deserve some chest chops from him for such insolence.

Still, fukk WWE.

WTF is this Walter who?

Big German hoss. PWG champ prior to Jeff Cobb.

Him signing to NXT UK is consistent with what he said on the Stone Cold show a little bit ago. He's super invested in having a normal life outside of his performances, and from what I read between the lines, his fiancee is not interested in relocating her life and career for a thing she's not even that into.

As noted, top Austrian indie wrestler WALTER has reportedly signed a deal to work the WWE NXTUK brand. He's finishing up indie dates in December and is expected to start working with WWE in January.

It was noted by Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that WALTER was not interested in moving to Florida for the main NXT brand as he's happy with his life in Germany and wants to continue living there. WALTER reportedly does not mind making trips to the United States but he does not want to live here or do long tours here.

It's believed that WALTER will be a key part of WWE's NXT Germany brand when it launches. It was reported that wXw will be working with WWE for the NXT Germany brand and WALTER teaches at their school.

Meltzer added that talk months ago when the WWE - WALTER interest was first reported, was that WALTER was open to working some weekends in the United States for the main NXT brand, perhaps a set of TV tapings and a Takeover event, but he did not want to live here and that was the key to everything. Meltzer added that most talents have a goal of making it to the main roster where they can make big money, but that is not what WALTER is interested in.

WALTER also reportedly turned down New Japan Pro Wrestling as he did not want to live there or do long tours there either.
