What it took the WWE to finally sign WALTER to a contract

WALTER will be a big problem with NXT UK if its reputation does not say anything about it. The fact is that WWE has been trying to lock WALTER from wXw in Germany for a while, but it just did not want to leave. Now that he has finally signed a contract with WWE, it seems that WALTER could position itself to become a big name even if it is not there often.

Dave Meltzer explained the trials that WWE had to undergo in the first place for WALTER to sign with the company during the Wrestling Observer Radio. He is an incredibly talented wrestler. At 31, he still has a lot of gas in the tank. But the biggest problem with WALTER's signature is getting him away from home in Germany, who seems to have a great affection for and just does not want to change.

"We knew that WALTER was leaving, it was just a question of when. The WALTER case is very interesting because almost everyone, I would say I'll guess, but I think everyone [NXT UK] the roster and all members of the NXT team, their goal is to get to the main roster and make a lot of money. This is not the purpose of WALTER in life. WALTER could be on the main list at the moment and he refused because he is not interested. "

"He wants to live in Germany and did not want to go to Florida to go to NXT. He does not fear traveling to the United States, but he does not want to live here and he does not want to make long trips here, come for a weekend, it's cool. But he wants to live in Germany. He refused New Japan, you know they wanted it. He does not want to spend three weeks in Japan or anything like that. He wants to live in Germany, he worked a lot in Germany. He was a wXw employee, helped manage their school and he was very happy with his life. "

"The bottom line is that at WWE UK and probably again, there will most likely be a German outlet – NXT Germany – and he will be the guy there. But in the UK, he was still working in the UK, so he's going to work in the UK. "

"The way I had heard him say a few months ago, when it was clear that he was going to go, was that he had agreed to go see him." and that he could spend a few weekends for NXT, as he already does when he came to the United States and did some stuff. Like he could maybe build televisions and do a TakeOver. But he does not want to live here and that's his thing. So it's his contract and maybe others will come out with time. "

It is interesting to note that wXw is one of the few companies for which NXT UK talent is allowed to continue working under certain circumstances.

Meltzer also noted that WALTER had completed its independent control commitments by the end of 2018; it should start with NXT UK in January, which could be just in time for NXT UK's first TakeOver event on January 12th.

Only time will tell what size will the WALTER superstar have in the WWE. But if he wanted to live in the United States, there is a good chance that he would have already been able to debut within his core training and earn a lot more money than he could. does not currently. However, that does not seem to be WALTER's style, so he waited for it in Germany until the time came to make the decision to finally sign the dotted line with the WWE.
