Last Tuesday night's one year anniversary episode of WWE NXT 2.0 saw Hank Walker defeat Javier Bernal in Singles action with a massive corner splash and a flying shoulder tackle. During the match, Walker received a huge reaction from the fans in the WWE Performance Center. Shortly following the show, WWE Hall of Famer and Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative "HBK" Shawn Michaels was shown in a Digital Exclusive offering Walker a contract to be a full-time WWE NXT Superstar. Shawn Michaels approached Hank Walker as he was backstage celebrating his win with the rest of the security team.

Hank Walker, who is a former college football player with NC State, signed with the WWE in March 2022 and has already competed in a number of matches on WWE NXT LVL Up.
