WALTER is here in NXT 2.0, and that is bad news for anyone who dares to get in his face. Diamond Mine were quick to stand up to him, with Malcolm Bivens prone to talking trash. WALTER was ready to take him out recently, but Roderick Strong stepped up – and now they will meet for their first singles match since 2007 in WXW.
