The highly-anticipated debut of WALTER took place following the main event of NXT UK TakeOver as the popular independent wrestler came face-to-face with the champ.

It all went down at the WWE Network special taking place in Blackpool after Pete Dunne defeated Joe Coffey to close the show.

As Dunne was celebrating, the music of WALTER hit and he walked to the ring for a stare-down. Coffey attempted to get involved, but instead he was hit with big boot from the debuting wrestler.

WALTER and Dunne continued to stare each other down before the Austrian wrestler left.

As you may recall, the 31-year-old wrestler signed a deal back in November.
