NXT UK’s latest episode this past Wednesday set up some big bouts for next week’s show.
Former NXT Champions Moustache Mountain (Tyler Bate & Trent Seven) will be taking on Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner. Bate and Seven are well acquainted with Barthel, who wrestled on the independent scene as Axel Dieter Jr. Barthel was also previously in a stable called Ringkampf, alongside EVOLVE’s Timothy Thatcher and new NXT UK Superstar WALTER.
Speaking of WALTER, he will also be making his in-ring debut on the show next week. WALTER was one of the hottest free agents on the market before he was confirmed with WWE’s UK brand. Reportedly WALTER did not wish to sign with NXT in the United States. This was due to him being happy living and performing in Europe. WALTER is one of the head trainers for the wXw brand in Germany and has strong ties to the European companies, including PROGRESS where he headlined their Wembley Arena show late last year.
WALTER made his NXT UK debut at the Takeover: Blackpool event, he appeared following the main event between Pete Dunne and Joe Coffey, seemingly declaring his interest in facing Dunne for the WWE United Kingdom Championship down the line.
