10 Countries that deserve their first Heavyweight Champion in the WWE

#10 United Kingdom

Could we see Dunne as a future WWE Champion?

Nobody will feel more oppressed than the United Kingdom. The pure pedigree of wrestling talent graces the island nation, yet it has yet to see a Brit crowned champion. To add to the agony, there have been many close to the grail.

The British Bulldog has often been thought of as the best that never won the title. Then the ultimate Villain, William Regal could have seen himself holding the magnate of power from either of his two impressive singles competition runs that came both sides of the millennium.

Finally the less said about Wade Barrett’s promising run in the WWE, the better. Injury and poor carding found Wade struggling to find an opportunity to gain a constant place in the main event.

However, there is every reason why the future looks promising. With the successful creation of the WWE UK championship, the world has been given foresight to spot the next best talent from old Albion to claim a spot at the top of the WWE pyramid. Could the Bruiserweight, Pete Dunne, gain enough momentum to push him to the top? Time will tell.
