It’s been since March since we’ve seen Pete Dunne do what he does best, but next week that’s all going to change as The Bruiserweight makes his return to WWE action across the pond.

WWE viewers last saw Pete Dunne as one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions with Matt Riddle before COVID-19 took over bookings and laid some travel restrictions down on Dunne, thwarting his ability to defend the titles. Now with NXT UK getting back to business, The Bruiserweight will at least have some ability to manipulate some joints on the wrestling mat in some form and fashion.
