After a week of speculation about Alexander Wolfe’s future in WWE, it was confirmed that the former SAnitY man made his NXT UK debut at last night’s set of TV tapings in Glasgow. At Friday night’s tapings, WALTER successfully defended his WWE United Kingdom Championship over Pete Dunne thanks to some assistance from Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel.

The trio would confirm they were a unit named ‘Imperium’ at the next night of tapings, and then square off with British Strong Style in a six-man tag team match. Wolfe made his NXT UK debut by attacking Tyler Bate in said match and confirming himself as the fourth member of the new stable.
Wolfe has taken to Twitter to comment on his debut and his thoughts on NXT UK’s new faction:
I never said I'll leave this company.
I said goodbye the @wwe
(RAW/SD Live) because I am now
a part of @NXTUK.
I may have lost my #SAnitY but
I found back my #ImperiumThe mat is sacred. #NXTUKGlasgow #NXTUK #Ringkampf #DieMatteIstHeilig #TheMatIsSacred pic.twitter.com/fu6iXWLvtZ
