When Pete Dunne was NXT UK Champion the question was asked many times, 'Who could possibly beat Pete Dunne for the title?' But then Walter came along to WWE and we all went, 'Oh yes, Walter could.'

And Walter did. The Austrian behemoth and leader of Imperium was the one to finally end Pete Dunne's extraordinary title reign at 685 days. A title run that surely wouldn't be beaten?

Well, here we are 797 days into Walter's NXT UK Championship reign where we're now asking ourselves, 'Who could possibly beat Walter for the title?' and at this point, it doesn't look like anyone ever will.

There's something quite interesting about an Austrian champion with a German aesthetic dethroning an English one, smashing his unsmashable record and still looking like there's no way on earth he can be beaten.
