Update On Ludwig Kaiser Working As A Babyface On WWE House Shows
Is this a temporary move by WWE or a sign of things to come?
Mar 18, 2025
WWE Superstar Ludwig Kaiser has recently been working as a babyface at live events in his home country of Germany.
Despite still portraying a ruthless heel on TV - most recently in his feud with newly-arrived babyface Penta - Ludwig has picked up singles victories over both members of A-Town Down Under at recent house shows in Germany.
Fightful Select have an update on the situation, reporting:
"We're told that as of now, this is just being used for live events and he's not expected to work as a babyface on TV imminently, but specific crowd reactions could adjust that week to week overseas."
Prior to WWE, Kaiser primarily made his way under the ring name Axel Dieter Jr. at the wXw promotion in his home country. His father, Axel Dieter, was a wrestler too.
Kaiser has been aligned with fellow wXw alum Gunther for much of his WWE run so far, but while their Imperium stable is still officially in existence, the pair have rarely appeared together recently, apparently existing on Raw as separate singles Superstars. Former members of the group include the recently-released Giovanni Vinci (AKA Fabian Aichner) and Alexander Wolfe, who left in 2021.
