Pete Dunne Talks Elevating The WWE United Kingdom Championship, His Surprise Appearance On RAW Last Year, And More

"The Bruiserweight" in much less of a joint-manipulating temper.

The present WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne was once stabbed within the again just lately by way of a person who he rolled in the course of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with, Roderick Strong. Prior to the occasions that transpired between the 2 at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, Dunne spoke with 'Inside The Ropes' and discussed his then-partner Roderick Strong as being some of the causes that he has been ready to raise the U.Ok. Championship.

"Yeah its great. I see a lot of people asking about what are the rules, who can it be defended to. You know, much like the European Title back in the day, I think its great if anybody can wrestle for it especially when it’s the caliber of people like Gargano, people like Roddy, and the more we can do that and the more we can shed light on the U.K. Title and the U.K. division the better," Dunne persisted, "And the more its going to elevate that title so when more U.K. talents does get the chance to wrestle for it, it gives them a bigger platform. I think that’s important, and using people like Roddy and using people like Johnny to help elevate myself and help elevate the brand is ideal."

Back in November of 2017 all over WWE's excursion of the United Kingdom, "The Bruiserweight" made a different look on Monday Night RAW to position a halt on Enzo Amore's antics. Dunne mentioned showing on RAW and said that he was once conscious that the U.Ok. skill had been going to applied, however didn’t know to what capability.

"Yeah, I believe that was once a just right measure for me of the publicity this corporate’s given me. Its all the time, you do presentations… even doing stuff like Axxess you suppose ‘Oh, will they know who I am’ and each and every time they appear to be pleasantly shocked, and that was once a truly just right instance." Dunne defined. "Obviously, there’s a lot of people that watch the main roster that don’t really know about NXT and especially don’t really know about the U.K. stuff. So it was a really pleasant surprise to see how excited everyone was and obviously to get introduced by Kurt Angle and stuff was amazing," he persisted, "That’s once I came upon. I heard rumblings for the reason that excursion [was in the U.K.]. I heard rumblings that there could be U.Ok. guys doing one thing, however we didn’t know if there was once going to be… if it was once going to be TV stuff or unrecorded stuff. So, it was once an excessively delightful marvel to determine that I’d be in that spot. I discovered that out on that day."

The former PROGRESS World Champion was once then requested to show his WrestleMania dream opponent and he threw out the identify of a person who was once no longer too keen on Pete Dunne on-screen upon his arrival to WWE, William Regal.

"Regal, is obviously an answer I always give. It’ll be cool to wrestle AJ Styles who has been like a hero of mine since I was a little kid, and then for nostalgia’s sake I’d like to wrestle Mark Andrews for it or any number of British guys that haven’t had the chance to be on that platform yet."
