The National caught up with NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne, who opened up about what his reaction might be, if given a main roster opportunity:
I think there’s two sides to that. So there’s a side that this isn’t a race, like personally for my career this isn’t a race. I’m 25 years old so if I can build this and spend a few years doing this and then maybe go to NXT in the US and have more of a full time schedule there and then eventually work my way to main roster, it’s definitely a slow burner, I think that’s a good thing.
But then the other side of it is sort of what I want do and if I had my choice right now I’d still be here. If I had the option to go to main roster, if I had the option to go more full time in Orlando I’d still be here because I’ve been passionate about British wrestling because I’ve been a part of this when it was literally non-existent. So to bring it to this point is just exciting to see how far we can keep pushing it.
Dunne also talked about a potential feud with WALTER:
It’s an exciting prospect, you know. I think he’s done great work on the Independence and someone I’ve wanted to have here for a long time. And I think it just goes to show how deep the talent pool is in Britain. I know he’s not British but he definitely made a name over here and I think, you know, it goes a lot deeper than that too. I think that’s how this brand is gonna continue to grow is bringing in people like that. I can’t wait to get in the ring with him. He’s someone who’s a completely different style than I’ve got the opportunity to work with in this company so it’s an exciting prospect.
