10 stars who might sign with WWE in 2019

#4. WALTER

WALTER--

the all

caps is deliberate--as PWG champion.

While not on as high a level as, say, Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla is still one of the most celebrated indie promotions on the planet. PWG pushes wrestling action first and foremost but is a little more glitzy than the tonally serious Ring of Honor grapple fests.

The current PWG champion is WALTER, a man with a unique look and obvious size and power. However, his grace belies his bulk, and Walter can keep up with even cruiserweight wrestlers in the ring. His match against Zach Sabre Jr. is still being spoken of as the best five-star independent wrestling league match of all time.

While at one time, WALTER working for WWE seemed very unlikely--he has said repeatedly he prefers not to live in the United States--with NXT pushing into Europe, he may not have to. Walter had this to say about working for WWE in an interview:

“I don’t know if I mentioned this, but being a part of the RAW or SmackDown roster is nothing I am interested in. I don’t want to live in the US. I really like NXT though, I think it’s a great product, filled with the best talent in the world and is focused on competition in the ring, which is something I enjoy. I don’t want to say it will never happen because in wrestling things change so quick.”

WALTER in NXT Europe? It could happen by the end of next year.
