WWE has posted a special story about him on their website and the following to say about his debut:

WALTER’s arrival not only garnered a loud reaction inside the Empress Ballroom — with NXT UK fans chanting his name and singing along as Dvo?ák’s Symphony No. 9 ushered him to the ring — but it also immediately sent shock waves throughout the NXT UK Universe, and for good reason.

An active competitor for more than a decade, WALTER became a breakout star on the independent circuit in Europe and abroad in recent years. He’s feared around the world for his pulverizing in-ring style, including brutal knife-edge chops that leave opponents’ chests sunken and discolored. WALTER stands 6-foot-4 and tips the scales at around 300 pounds.

Over the course of his career, he has captured titles in Germany, England, Ireland and the United States.

Editor’s Opinion:

I have to say that I am not familiar with his work, but everything that I have read about him tells me that I should be excited. This is another fantastic addition for the company, and continues to give legitimacy and momentum to the NXT UK brand! A match between him and champion Pete Dunne is sure to be one for the ages.
