WALTER Makes NXT UK In-Ring Debut; Will Face Mark Coffey Next Week
WALTER is already making an impact in NXT UK.
WALTER surprised many at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool when he showed up at the end of the night and stood face-to-face with NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne. Joe Coffey tried to get in the picture, but his face was met with WALTER’s boot. On Wednesday’s episode of NXT UK, WALTER made his in-ring debut, easily dispatching of some poor soul named Jack Starz.

After the match, NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint announced that next week, WALTER will be in the main event against Joe Coffey’s brother, Mark.
I saw that @m_coffey90 feels he is up to the challenge of @WalterAUT. Well, let’s see if he is as it’s Scotland vs Austria in our main event next week!
