Even Mark Henry could take him out...

Just saw a picture from this. Pretty sure I saw Al-Ani, Absolute Andy, Lucky Kid, and one or two others there as well. This is a little worrisome.

I said it a long time ago

if WALTER is loyal to wXw, WWE will just buy wXw instead. It sounds like they're about to get raid, but I have to imagine most of them will get 'signed' for NXT UK only

Yes Brm, YES! Your independents are about to become OBSOLETE!
