Thatcher is a former EVOLVE Champion and WXW Unified World Champion. He’s also been a frequent tag team partner of NXT United Kingdom Champion WALTER.

It is a shame Impact and Kross couldn't make things work out before he left. Hopefully WWE doesn't drop the ball with him. Maybe not doing a lot in Impact will help him.

I think the WWE will feel flexible with KK because a lot of people won't have an immediate idea of what he or his character is. I wish both him and Timothy well is their new jobs.

Always cool to see guys and gals with FG cards sign with WWE or other big companies. Happy to see them get their chance to achieve their wildest dreams and these two definitely deserve it. Both could be big stars with WWE. Hopefully they do well!

Good luck to them both

I'm glad these two are getting a chance! I hope they do well wherever & whatever they get assigned!

Pretty Cool. I just recently got my Killer Kross card signed a week ago on Jan 31st, Seattle Defy Wrestling show!

Really nice. Looking forward to him debuting.

Hopefully they let Kross destroy people in quick matches and avoid putting him in the 30 minute boo boo face matches that have made up every NXT main event for the last like...three years.
