Over The Top (OTT) Wrestling has announced a big time main event for their February Homecoming show. The event will be taking place on 02/17 from the National Basketball Arena in Dublin, Ireland.

OTT Champion WALTER will be taking on former WWE Superstar PAC. Interestingly WALTER has been confirmed as a new WWE signee, yet he will be performing against a non-NXT UK performer.

The recent situation surrounding the NXT UK contracts has been baffling. It has been rumored that NXT UK Superstars would not be able to perform for companies outside of the ‘WWE Bubble’ and that they could only face other NXT UK contracted talent. This was apparently meant to come into play as of January 1st.

OTT were originally being touted as one of the companies in WWE’s ‘greenlit’ list. With WALTER being OTT Champion he is of course a featured star and the company wouldn’t want to lose his box office appeal. This match against PAC however is very, very interesting…

With a WWE ‘signed’ performer facing someone the likes of PAC (who left the company on bad terms reportedly) how will that affect other matches on the UK and Irish scene? Will Ospreay has been very vocal about his dislike of the ‘NXT UK vs NXT UK only’ stipulation. The UK scene has taken a hit recently and this may be detrimental, but with this huge match being announced maybe the rule has been changed?

Alternatively, WALTER has not been signed to WWE. We can’t confirm at this time either way.
