WWE has regularly pushed the bigger men in the company, and WALTER is one man who had a good reputation even before joining the WWE.
WALTER is a massive wrestler who managed to defeat Pete Dunne for the NXT United Kingdom Championship in April 2019, and he has held the title for well over 500 days now.
While he’s had some great contests in NXT UK, there are several WWE Superstars against whom The Ring General wants to compete against in the ring.
Several top WWE Superstars are also keen on competing against WALTER, and we could witness this in the coming years.

Check out some cross-brand matches in WWE that need to happen in our video below:
WWE is always looking to provide fans with the best entertainment, and we will look at the 4 WWE Superstars WALTER wants to compete against in WWE and 2 Superstars who want to face him.
#6 WALTER wants to face Daniel Bryan and Braun Strowman
WALTER is currently ruling WWE NXT UK, but that doesn’t mean he can’t face the other WWE Superstars competing on different brands. WALTER made his way to the 2019 Survivor Series as a member of Team NXT, but he failed to make an impact in the match.
Sport Bible caught up with WALTER earlier this year and asked The Ring General who he’d like to face from WWE RAW or SmackDown one-on-one. WALTER picked Daniel Bryan and Braun Strowman as two of the men he would like to face.
“Yeah, of course. There are a bunch of people I really look up to and I like what they do in the ring. Daniel Bryan is one of them, for sure. And then I'm a big fan of The Revival, too. And personally for my own amusement.
"I've always felt the idea of having a contest with Braun Strowman could be very interesting [laughs].”
Bryan is an incredible worker in the ring who has put up top performances against big men such as Brock Lesnar and Kane, Strowman is someone who can match the size and power of The Ring General.
Both these pairings can be termed as dream matches, and WWE could work towards booking these clashes in the future.
#5 WWE Hall of Famer Edge wants to face WALTER
Edge returned at the 2020 Royal Rumble and since then fans of the WWE Superstar haven’t been able to stop thinking about all the dream matches he could compete in.
However, The Rated-R Superstar has only gone one-on-one against Randy Orton since his return, and he is currently recovering from an injury.
Edge was the guest on Corey Graves’ After the Bell Podcast, and the Hall of Famer named several WWE NXT Superstars against whom he would like to compete, including WALTER.
"I think Brock knows how and you saw two minutes of that. That's fun. God, you can look at that UK: [Tyler] Bate, Walter and I know I'm forgetting names. Shane Thorn, I'd love to get in there with him. I'd love to get in and really really just see what they got and see and try and give them some tools to take it to the next level. You know what I mean? And and there's so much untapped potential there. Roddy [Roderick Strong], [Bobby] Fish and [Kyle] O'Reilly just give me a partner. There's just there's so much there."
Edge has been vocal about how good the current generation of younger stars in WWE are, and he is one man who is looking to take on The Ring General at some point before retiring again.
#4 Drew McIntyre wants to face WALTER
Just like WALTER, Drew McIntyre is a massive international WWE Superstar who has managed to make it big in the company. Both men are equally good at what they do, and McIntyre was able to eliminate WALTER early during the 2019 Survivor Series with a Claymore Kick.
While their encounter at Survivor Series was brief, McIntyre thinks that a one-on-one match between the two giants would be great for WWE.
During an interview with Digital Spy, The Scottish Psychopath opened up facing WALTER in NXT UK:
“If I was to pick an opponent [from WWE NXT UK] that might be interesting for the fans to watch I’d say myself and Walter. It might be a bit of a spectacle for everybody to watch and the story is simple – two big lads battering each other.”
WALTER also feels that a match against McIntyre would be good for himself.
“I'm not focused on if I want to go to RAW or SmackDown, I'm not that sort of guy. But I have a lot of respect for Drew. He represents European wrestling as a whole very well in the United States. I really like his style of wrestling, he's a big and tall guy, very intense. I'm hoping for a singles match with him one day."
The idea of having WALTER and McIntyre go at each other in WWE is exciting, and WWE could book a match between the two men either on NXT or WWE RAW in the years to come.
#3 WALTER wants to face Cesaro
Cesaro is regarded as one of the strongest pound-for-pound wrestlers in WWE, and he could be a great match for someone like WALTER.
The NXT United Kingdom Champion thinks that Cesaro is one of the best professional wrestlers around, and that’s why he’d like to face The Swiss Cyborg in the WWE ring.
In an interview with Sport Bible, WALTER revealed that he’d like to face Cesaro whenever the opportunity arises.
“Yeah, 100 per cent. Cesaro as well started out at wXw in Germany, but he left there and went to America before I started wrestling there regularly. So... that's there that little bit of connection where he was like the very first who made it out of wXw and who made it in the United States or outside of it. And since then, he has developed into one of the finest professional wrestlers around. So, of course, I'm always looking for challenging competition and it just makes sense.”
Cesaro has teased moving to WWE NXT UK on a few occasions, and if he does go to the brand for even have a few matches there, fans could witness this match between these two WWE Superstars.
#2 Finn Balor wants to face WALTER
WALTER has made a big impact on WWE NXT UK since his arrival, and The Prince of NXT, Finn Baloe, has his eyes set on the big man for some time now. After Finn Balor returned to WWE NXT, it did not take him long to target WALTER and his faction, Imperium.
However, the COVID pandemic halted Balor and NXT’s plans in its track, and Balor opened up about it during an interview with Newsweek.
"We were building to the match with WALTER, which was something that I was super excited about, but the world kind of went to s**t," Bálor said. "COVID came and kind of shut that down, but you know that's something that definitely isn't gone. I think when we all get back up and running and the doors open back to normal, that WALTER match is something that I've definitely got my eyes up and it's something I'll look forward to."
Balor entered the NXT Championship picture soon after and won the title in September 2020. However, he has been vocal about facing WALTER soon as he has put the WWE Superstar in the same league as Brock Lesnar.
The Prince of NXT is open to becoming a Double Champion, and we could see the two Champions have a Champion vs Champion Winner Takes All Match once things get back to normal.
#1 WALTER wants to face Brock Lesnar
WALTER may be the most destructive man in all of WWE NXT UK, but Brock Lesnar is regarded as one of the most dominating men in all of WWE’s history.
The former WWE Superstar won several World Championship matches, and fans have compared the young Austrian WWE NXT Superstar to ‘The Beast’.
During an interview with Sport Bible, WALTER was all up for the competing against Lesnar:
“For sure. I think right now there's no smarter professional wrestlers than Brock Lesnar at the moment. I'm aware of the -- I don't know -- the negative reactions he gets by the fans, but if I ever end up in that position in my career, I would be very thankful [laughs]. For sure, 100 per cent. I think Brock is amazing and I would love to do that.”
He expressed similar views while speaking to The Mirror UK:
"I like how everybody else hates him for that because they're just jealous that they are not as smart as him, right? So yeah, of course. I would love to wrestle Brock Lesnar."
WALTER has never shied away from facing the biggest and best Superstars in WWE. A match between the two men could be help WALTER become popular with the mainstream audience, and it could happen at a big stage like WrestleMania.
