NXT UK Champion: 5 Facts you didn't know about WALTER

#3. He refuses to move to America

WALTER may have debuted on Monday Night RAW last night and become one of the most popular stars in the company, but it appears that a permanent move to the main roster may be off the cards since WALTER refuses to move to America.

The 32-year-old moved to Germany early in his career since his wife was stationed there as part of her Army career. WALTER was able to make his wrestling dream come true after undertaking an 18-hour round trip just so that he could wrestle his first match in Switzerland.

After conquering Germany, WALTER went on to conquer Europe before debuting in WWE earlier this year, but the former wXw Champion still refuses to move to America as part of his job. He recently reiterated this in an interview with Talk Sport.

"I would go on the main roster at some point but I wouldn’t move to America. Moving to America is not for me. American lifestyle is not for me. No, I couldn’t imagine that. When it comes to that, I stay where I am.

But, I am able to get on an airplane!"
