WWE recently changed WALTER's name on NXT 2.0

On the latest episode of WWE NXT 2.0, WALTER was in action against Roderick Strong in a huge singles match. Following his victory over the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion, the Imperium member took to the microphone and hinted at his name change.

The name change quickly caught the attention of the WWE Universe, and it's safe to say that a large portion of fans wasn't happy with the decision.

WWE only recently filed to trademark the name "Gunther Stark." It was pointed out that Stark was a captain lieutenant who served in the navy for Nazi Germany during World War II. Hence, the name Gunther already has plenty of controversial ties attached to it.
