#3 WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER

WALTER has dominated the NXT UK scene ever since he made his debut back in 2019 when he approached WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne. WALTER has held the NXT UK Championship since May 2019 and continues to be the standout star on that roster.

WWE had a hard time securing WALTER's services back in 2018 since the current Champion wasn't looking to relocate and told The Mirror that he didn't want to live in the US.

“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.”

Of course, WALTER later signed a deal with WWE and has since appeared exclusively on NXT UK whilst making several appearances on the NXT brand when needed.
