There have been some terrific grapplers that have made their way to the WWE from the United Kingdom. William Regal was well regarded for his tremendous technical ability, while Fit Finlay was not just a hard-hitting bruiser, but also utilized a great deal of grappling skills.

Following in their footsteps, Pete Dunne is the next evolution of the UK catch as catch style.

The Bruiserweight has produced mat clinics in his time in WWE since arriving in 2017. His joint manipulation is quite unique and helps distinguish himself from other well known technicians.

Dunne used many of the moves that Regal and Finlay were known for, in wearing down his opponents. He does it in a way that is truly brutal to watch as he pretty much tortures competitors.

Pete Dunne has achieved much success in a short time with WWE. He was one of the standouts in the original United Kingdom Championship Tournament. Dunne made it to the finals and put on a brilliant contest against Tyler Bate.

The battle paled in comparison to their all-time classic TakeOver: Chicago encounter, where Dunne defeated Bate to become the WWE United Kingdom Champion.

Pete Dunne went on a fantastic run as the WWE United Kingdom Champion and became the face of the launch of the NXT UK brand. He put on good-to-great matchups against Trent Seven, Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong.

His outstanding reign ended at 685 days after WALTER defeated Dunne in TakeOver: New York.

The WWE United Kingdom Championship won't be his last title at all. Pete Dunne made the jump to NXT proper and soon found himself aligned with Matt Riddle for the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

The two men became known as "The Broserweights". They defeated the Grizzled Young Veterans to win the tournament and then beat the Undisputed Era to win the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Their reign was short lived due to the pandemic, keeping Dunne in the UK. However, the Bruiserweight made his return and aligned himself with Pat McAfee, Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan.

Through his multiple alliances and incredible battles, Dunne has remained one of the most accomplished competitors today. That's why Pete Dunne is the best in-ring technician on the WWE roster.
