Man Returns Stolen WWE UK Championship To WWE
In December 2019, WWE NXT star Walter had his personal belongings and WWE United Kingdom Championship stolen from his rental vehicle.
The incident happened before EVOLVE 142, where Walter was headlining against Josh Briggs.
Tik Tok user VNDSChicago posted a video on Tik Tok showing the belt, as well as DMs with WWE UK Champion Walter. The DMs reveal he purchased the belt for $20-30 on the Offerup marketplace. He originally thought it was a replica title until he did some further research.

In a second video, he states WWE sent him a signed replica title for returning the stolen belt.

“I got nothing back. The window got smashed off the car when we were eating lunch, and then they just took all the luggage.” WALTER stated in an interview with Gary Cassidy
I asked @WalterAUT about the situation that saw him have his passport and WWE United Kingdom Championship stolen.

He revealed that he was issued an emergency passport at the Austrian Embassy in New York in order to fly back home.
Walter was later given a replacement title, which he has since been using on WWE television.
