Fightful Select reported this week that the Imperium duo of Marcel Barthel and Gunther/Walter were likely headed up to the main roster. We're told that is the plan, but with a bit of a catch -- a name change as WrestleVotes indicated on Twitter today.
Fightful has heard the working name for Marcel Barthel on the main roster is to be "Ludwig." This comes a few months after Walter's name was changed to Gunther. Some other previous NXT name changes have included Pete Dunne to Butch, Mia Yim to Reckoning, Dijakovic to T-Bar, Piper Niven to Doudrop, and the plan for Chelsea Green was to be named Victorious before she was injured.
The last we'd heard, Fabian Aichner was not planned to be a part of this act, which can always change.
