NXT UK Champion WALTER put the entire NXT roster on notice when he made his shocking return to the black and gold brand.

It all went down on the latest edition of NXT on USA Network.

The Austrian behemoth made his way down the ramp and confronted Tommaso Ciampa, who had just defeated WALTER's ally Marcel Barthel.

While Ciampa was distracted, Barthel and Fabian Aichner jumped him from behind.

The three IMPERIUM members beat Ciampa down. WALTER chopped him into next week and then finished the attack with a devastating powerbomb.

The smug European trio stood over Ciampa as the segment came to a close.
