10 Biggest Holy Sh*t Moments From NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver Night 1

3. Walter Chopping The Announce Desk

Or that Walter chopped some serious wood.

No, that's not a euphemism for anything. The reigning NXT UK Champ literally delivered a meaty chop that broke the announce desk in two. That's scary, and it's no wonder Wade, Vic and Beth almost crapped their pants behind the table when that spot happened.

Barrett then made a slick point about what Walter's chops must do to a man's chest. If he can break those tough blends of wood and plastic that cover the desk, then just think what the behemoth can do to blood and bone. Again, that's a rather terrifying thought.

This needs to become a regular thing; maybe Walter shouldn't bust out this table-chopping spot every single week on NXT UK, but it's fine to make this a TakeOver special. One time, it'd be erm...nice to see him cut right through the desk and flatten it completely.

Ridiculous.
