During tonight’s live edition of WWE NXT, NXT UK Superstars Alexander Wolfe, Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner, and WWE United Kingdom Champion WALTER - collectively known as Imperium - made surprise appearances on the broadcast.

Wolfe, Barthel, and Aichner appeared first, coming out from the crowd and attacking a debuting competitor who had been scheduled to face KUSHIDA. Following the assault, WALTER himself came to the ring and as he addressed the crowd, he was interrupted by KUSHIDA, who then challenged WALTER to a match before attacking all four members of Imperium.
