Rumors were rampant earlier this month that WWE officials had interest in signing Progress World champion, Walter.
Walter is set to face NXT UK star Tyler Bate this Sunday for the Progress World title at the Hello Wembley event. The PW champ spoke with the
Mirror and was questioned about the ongoing WWE rumors:
"I don't know if I mentioned this, but being a part of the Raw or SmackDown roster is nothing I am interested in," Walter said.
"I don't want to live in the US. I really like NXT though, I think it's a great product, filled with the best talent in the world and is focused on competition in the ring, which is something I enjoy. I don't want to say it will never happen because in wrestling things change so quick."
Word is that WWE may try to sign him to one of the UK deals that would see him work the WWE NXT UK brand, instead of the WWE/NXT deal that was reportedly offered earlier this year.
The NXT UK deal would allow Walter to continue to work for his home promotion, wXw, and other indies in Europe.
