Pete Dunne faced off against WALTER at NXT Takeover: New York. Dunne was eventually defeated in an incredible match, ending his WWE UK Championship reign after more than 600 days.
WWE posted a video that had an interesting tease for Dunne’s future.
In the short-term, Dunne announced that he will be getting a rematch. Something else was teased though in the video that caught my attention.
During the video, William Regal nods in approval of Dunne without saying anything. Since Regal is the General Manager of NXT, I took that as a possible a hint that he wants Dunne full-time on his brand (rather than him staying on NXT UK). Here is the video:
Regal isn’t the General Manager of NXT UK, so I don’t think that he was granting Dunne his rematch or anything like that. This felt like a potential hint for Dunne to join the main NXT brand full-time. That is my interpretation at least.
