A player, 17 May 2015

It's my turn and i'm going to use Keppos ability and destroy enemy VWM. Is it possible to take control of this follower by Keppo's Interrupt?

Victorious Wave Men After this Follower is destroyed by another player's action or by battle resolution, put it in your hand.

Keppo exp. Interrupt, (GC): If the action Recruits Keppo or is his printed Battle action, after it resolves, Equip a target attachment from another player's discard pile to him.

No.

The delayed effect of Keppo's Interrupt triggers "after [the action] resolves." However, the trigger on Victorious Wave Men to return the card to its owner's hand is after its destruction - which is duing the action's resolution.
