It has been quite an incredible ride for Pete Dunne as a WWE Superstar. The Bruiserweight won the NXT UK title way back in 2017, and held the belt for 685 days, before dropping it to Walter at WWE NXT TakeOver: New York last year. Dunne has wrestled a total of 21 matches this year in WWE, and has won 20 out of those, with a win percentage of 95.2!
Dunne's impressive win percentage is courtesy of his association with Matt Riddle, in early 2020. Dunne and Riddle were paired up for the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and the duo went on to win the tournament by defeating Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) in the finals. The BroserWeights eventually won the NXT Tag Team belts. When the Coronavirus crisis struck, Dunne couldn't travel to the USA and was later replaced by Timothy Thatcher. Riddle didn't get along with the latter as much as he did with Dunne, and the duo soon lost the titles to Imperium.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
