The show was the best we've seen in a long time

#1 Pete Dunne loses the UK Championship

Pete Dunne has been one of WWE’s best champions of this decade. Not only has he been a great defender of his title, but has also gone all out to give anyone who wants a shot at the championship a chance to take it away from him.

While no man had been a match for the Bruiserweight for 685 days, Walter was able to pull off an incredible victory against Dunne in New York.

The match was an extraordinary affair and even better fight between two of the most physical wrestlers on the planet. The result could have gone either way as Walter has been extremely dominant in his career, it was still a surprise once he did get the pin over Pete Dunne.

This Match of the Year candidate was probably the best match of the night and showcased what NXT UK is all about. NXT UK got its third champion after Pete Dunne’s extremely dominant reign came to an end.

Now we wait and watch what this means for Pete Dunne and his future in NXT UK. Will he progress to NXT or something better?
