According to a report from Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE has recently come to terms with a big independent star. That star happens to be Walter Hahn, better known to wrestling fans as WALTER.
There were some rumors several months ago that WWE was interested in signing him. Walter denied the rumors that he had signed with the company.
It now looks like it is happening.
According to Johnson, WALTER will be a part of WWE’s European expansion plans. This will include working with the NXT UK brand.
WALTER will be finishing up some independent dates that were already scheduled. After a few more shows, he will be joining WWE.
He is probably best known for his work with both PROGRESS and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.
He will more than likely be a top star on the NXT UK brand after he gets established.
Another talented star is heading to WWE. We will let you know if we hear anything more.
