Call him Butch or Pete Dunne, it doesn’t matter – this man can wrestle. WWE recognized his young talent the second he stepped through the company doors back in 2017 and has since done great work keeping him strong. His run on the main roster hasn’t resulted in that same type of push, yet. But there’s still hope that is to come.

Dunne is one of those individuals that doesn’t need to say much on the microphone because his intensity comes out in other ways. Like Taz from his early run in ECW that helped him become a cult favorite among wrestling fans. If Triple H finds a way to give Butch a solid run on the WWE main roster, perhaps he becomes the guy to take a mid-card championship off Sheamus or even bigger opportunities.
