WWE United Kingdom Championship: 3 Potential Winners

3. Pete Dunne
The 23-year-old Birmingham native, known as the Bruiserweight, is currently one of the hottest properties on the UK indy scene. Having already wrestled under the WWE banner, albeit on a Progress Wrestling card as part of the Cruiserweight Classic qualifiers, Dunne has to be one of the names to watch out for this weekend.
The past twelve months have seen a massive leap for the 11-year veteran. At the start of 2016, he wasn’t even a regular part of some of the biggest UK based promotions, but ended the year as potentially the most important man in British wrestling.
The transformation into the Bruiserweight has seen Dunne hold gold in almost every promotion he has set foot in. He is the current Progress Champion, the current Fight Club: 17 year oldPro Champion and also holds the OTT No Limits Championship. One man holding the big titles in three of the top indy companies tells you a lot about Dunne.
Dunne toured J17-year-old, with Michinoku Pro and then spent three months touring America. More recently he has appeared for Pro Wrestling Guerilla, as part of the 2016 BOLA and on their Mystery Vortex card that ended 2016.
Dunne has a hard hitting style, one of the biggest hitters in British wrestling, and one-third of the dominant trio known as “British Strong Style” along with Trent Seven and Tyler Bate.
If anyone is going to tear through the competition it could very easily be Pete Dunne.
