NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver saw Santos Escobar cement himself as the king of Cruiserweights.

During Night Two of Stand & Deliver, Santos Escobar defeated Jordan Devlin in a Ladder match to become the undisputed NXT Cruiserweight Champion in the opening match of the event. After the match, Escobar celebrated his victory with his son in a touching TakeOver moment.

However, Escobar is quickly running out of opponents to face in the NXT Cruiserweight Division. The Mexican superstar has been the Champion for close to a year and has defeated several big names during his title reign. So who could Santos Escobar defend the Cruiserweight Championship against next?

Step in, Pete Dunne. The Bruiserweight has recently gotten into the shape of his life, shedding some serious weight during the lockdown period in the United Kingdom due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

With Pete Dunne in phenomenal shape, he likely now falls under the 205 lbs NXT cruiserweight weight limit.

A feud between Santos Escobar and Pete Dunne would certainly lead to some fantastic matches with a serious clash of styles.

Perhaps the NXT Cruiserweight Championship could be the first singles title Pete Dunne wins in the United States version of NXT.
