WALTER arrives in NXT, destroys Tommaso Ciampa

Throughout tonight’s episode of NXT, Timothy Thatcher has been convinced Imperium was behind Timothy Thatcher’s absence.

We don’t know if that’s the case (and maybe Thatcher’s realigned himself with his former Ringkampf allies?), but we learned that Old Man Ciampa could handle Alexander Wolfe, Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel on his own. But after he took out Wolfe off-camera, and fought off interference to from Aichner to pick up a win over Barthel, he met the one member of Imperium no one has been able to beat for more than 700 days.

NXT United Kingdom champion, The Ring General himself, WALTER is here. And Ciampa was not ready.

The black-and-gold brand’s been working overtime to set-up their two night TakeOver: Stand & Deliver cards for April 7 - 8. This one isn’t official yet, but if it’s going where we think it’s going....
