WWE NXT and NXT UK standouts WALTER, Alexander Wolfe, and Marcel Barthel made their names on the European independent scene as Ringkampf before becoming members of the stable Imperium. The popularity of the group throughout the world spawned a successful clothing line, worn by wrestlers and fans alike.
Now, it seems, the former faction and clothing line have come to an end.
In a message posted on the Ringkampf Twitter account, the trio have announced they are ending it, citing they have achieved all they wanted to achieve with the group. They also brought up how they felt Ringkampf was tied to the WXW promotion in Germany, a promotion they can no longer perform for as they are now contracted WWE talent.
They also stated they felt the group and clothing line was a way to help support themselves in the early days of their career, and now they are living their dream. You can check out their statement below.
Dear supporters, Since everything has come to an end, we want to announce that we will close down our operations by the end of the year. RINGKAMPF was a way to spread our message and ideology about Pro Wrestling, and support ourselves early in our careers. Today we are living our dream and are signed to the leading company in Pro Wrestling. This also means we are no longer able to compete in Germany or wXw on a regular basis. To us, RINGKAMPF was always connected to wXw and our fanbase there. Without wXw there would be no RINGKAMPF. And we have been fortunate enough to leave our mark in the build up of Pro Wrestling in Germany. We achieved everything we wanted to achieve with RINGKAMPF, and want to close this chapter in a positive way. Lastly, thank you. Thank you to everybody who supported us over the years, and to wXw who helped us starting out. Keep supporting our great sport!
