The week of WrestleMania 37 was packed with thrilling WWE action, but one match some fans may not have seen occurred in the main event of NXT UK: Prelude.
The event, which took place prior to Night Two Of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, was headlined by Rampage Brown challenging WALTER for the NXT UK Championship.
Brown recently sat down for an exclusive interview with Cultaholic Wrestling's Mitch Waddon and discussed the feeling of standing across the ring from 'The Ring General', saying he believes this is the best version of WALTER that wrestling has seen.
He said: "I’ve been in there a few times with WALTER before in the past, and each time I’ve been in the ring with him it’s a different WALTER. And now he’s the best he’s ever been - there’s no denying that. Personally, I don’t get overshadowed by bigger, smaller, guy’s reputations and things like that.
"I’ve seen a few things in my time. He’s a presence when you stand across from him and there’s the intimidation game of the entrance and the silhouette. It’s all a show but, as soon as you’re standing there and you’re looking each other in the eyes, and he’s just as afraid to stand across the ring from me. It is an experience but it’s one I live for!"
When asked where the match with WALTER ranked in his favourite bouts in NXT UK so far, Brown admitted it was high on the list, but was topped by his outing with Joe Coffey.
He continued: "Obviously the match with WALTER was a highlight. The outcome necessarily wasn’t. I would say the match I had with Joe Coffey. I felt like that was my introduction to the promotion and I felt like that was my welcoming party there.
"I loved that match and I enjoyed being in there with Joe. He’s a hell of a competitor, he’s one of the best. To go in there and get a good solid victory, was excellent."
