NXT UK Champion WALTER is injured, WWE announced today.
According to PWInsider, his injury is legitimate, not a storyline, but the specifics are not clear right now and there’s no word on how much time he may miss.
WWE claimed that he suffered a “severe injury to his left hand and has been deemed unfit to compete for his scheduled rematch with Ilja Dragunov.”
