5 things WWE NXT 2.0 got right this week: WALTER dominates; Grayson Waller follows in AJ Styles’ footsteps

#1. WALTER decimated Roderick Strong to stand tall on WWE NXT 2.0

WALTER praised Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner backstage before making his way out to the main event of WWE NXT 2.0. The former NXT UK Champion took out Roderick Strong in the biggest match of the night.

Malcolm Bivens was convinced that Strong would win the contest and put Diamond Mine over. However, things did not go too well for the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion once the match started.

WALTER delivered thunderous chops to Strong’s chest and nearly made it bleed. The Messiah of the Backbreaker fought back and hit an impressive superplex for a near-fall.

The Ring General found himself on the backfoot as Strong continued to hit him with some good moves. However, the match ended abruptly after WALTER hit Strong with a powerbomb.

After the contest, WALTER took the mic and stated that the winner of the match was “Gunther.” Barthel and Aichner attacked Strong, causing a massive brawl between Diamond Mine and Imperium on NXT 2.0.

It was good to have WALTER on the show after a long time. However, renaming him at this point in his career makes little sense. WWE could soon book a massive contest between Diamond Mine and Imperium, leading to some NXT Tag Team Championship matches between the champs and The Creed Brothers.
