Two of NXT’s two top stars for the January 18 episode of WWE NXT 2.0.
Former NXT Cruiserweight Champion Roderick Strong will face former NXT UK Champion WALTER in a buzzworthy singles bout. “The Ring General” nearly shoved Malcolm Bivens of Strong’s Diamond Mine stable into a locker in a digital exclusive to set this bout up.

The preview, courtesy of WWE’s official website, is as follows:
Roderick Strong isn’t scared of WALTER, but maybe he should be.
The Ring General has come to NXT 2.0 and he didn’t take too kindly to Malcolm Bivens’ remarks on Imperium, nearly tearing apart the manager of Diamond Mine until his prize fighter stepped in to intercede.
The imposing WALTER stared daggers at Strong, but the former Cruiserweight Champion did not back down leading to a main event showdown between the two titans.
Can Strong overpower the much larger WALTER or will the Ring General send a powerful message to the rest of the locker room in his debut singles match on NXT 2.0? Catch all the action Tuesday night on NXT 2.0 at 8/7 C on USA.
Plus, on Tuesday night, Tony D’Angelo will hold a “memorial service” for Pete Dunne one week after he beat “The BruiserWeight” in a Crowbar on a Pole match.
The card for the January 18 episode of NXT 2.0 is as follows:
- Roderick Strong vs. WALTER
- Tony D’Angelo hosts a memorial service for Pete Dunne
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
