Despite delivering great matches and compelling storylines, the NXT UK brand is not watched by many fans. This could either be because there is already a lot of WWE and UK Wrestling content out there or just simply because a lot of people are not aware that NXT UK is a good thing.
WALTER, Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner are here to change that. The group known the IMPERIUM is a spin-off stable of RINGKAMPF, a stable that send shockwaves throughout the European Indy-Scene. WALTER and Barthel are both founding members of RINGKAMPF, alongside Timothy Thatcher (who is not willing to go to WWE), Christian M. Jakobi (who is currenlty on a sabbatical and was working on the RINGKAMPF brand) and Alexander Wolfe, who you may now as a SmackDown Superstar and former NXT Tag Team Champion. Another member of RINGKAMPF is Veit Müller, who joined the group recently. The stable formed and is mostly found in german promotion wXw. IMPERIUM is WWE's version of RINGKAMPF. Three talented extremely wrestlers, that are driven to show the by far the best performance sporting performance of the evening - every evening.
Under the motto 'the matt is sacred' the trio is driven to make NXT UK the land of pure wrestling like it should be.
Being able to present RINGKAMPF vs. British Strong Style turned to be a major success for wXw

What is next for IMPERIUM?
IMPERIUM is the new top-act in NXT UK and is not going anywhere. Expect phenomenal singles and multi-men matches with these men. The first challengers? Old foes! British Strong Styles, which are former United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate and Trent Seven. And that wo't be the end. BSS and IMPERIUM and their upcoming epic war are only the start. GALLUS is waiting for IMPERIUM and so are the current NXT UK Tag Team Champions, the GRIZZLED YOUNG VETS.
