#8 Pete Dunne vs. WALTER (NXT Takeover: New York)

Coming into this match, Pete Dunne was on a historic stretch as reigning UK Champion. He had been holding onto the belt for over 600 days, but given the behemoth in front of him, it was always going to be tough to come out of this with his gold intact. As you'd expect, this was a hard-hitting contest from bell-to-bell, but despite his best efforts, "The Bruiserweight" fell, ending what was an incredible reign that put NXT UK on the map.

This was the introduction to WALTER for many in the wider WWE Universe, but for those acquainted with the Austrian brute already, this was a fantastic exhibition, and it's hard to see anyone stopping him anytime soon. While this was somewhat overshadowed by the incredible contest in the main event, it's well worth a rewatch, as both men are at their absolute best in this one, both proving that they are main event level talent for WWE.
