WALTER\u2019S <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/02\/19\/walter-longest-reigning-wwe-nxt-united-kingdom-champion\/\" target=\"_self\">legend grew during his 870 day NXT UK Championship reign<\/a> as he became the face of NXT UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He was featured in the US more often and was even included in the 2019 men\u2019s Survivor Series match. WALTER wrestled sparingly in 2021 but still managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/12\/23\/nxt-uk-matches-of-the-year-2021\/\" target=\"_self\">have sensational bouts with Tommaso Ciampa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/08\/22\/ilja-dragunov-nxt-united-kingdom-championship-takeover\/\" target=\"_self\">Ilja Dragunov<\/a>. Both took place in Florida at the Capitol Wrestling Center &#8211; a clear indication that the Austrian would likely be moving to the US for good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But before he leaves the UK he will take on <strong>Nathan Frazer.<\/strong> Frazer has been hyped as the future of British wrestling but WALTER is not impressed.
