#4 Pete Dunne (c) vs. WALTER, NXT Takeover: New York (for the WWE United Kingdom Championship)
By the time WALTER made his way down to NXT UK, it was obvious that he is the one to end Pete Dunne's historic reign. What wasn't known is where and how it would happen. As they enter the ring the towering presence of WALTER dwarfs the diminutive but pitbull stature of Dunne. In one fell chop, the Austrian could have the match won.
Luckily that isn't the case, instead, the two play it like a chess match with a constant push and pull full of strategy.
They take to the ground, and to every body part. If WALTER grips at anything to gain leverage and land his shots, Dunne swivels right into him to grasp at fingers and snap him away.
WALTER uses his brute force but with a clarity unseen among wrestling powerhouses meanwhile, Dunne keeps up the wily fox mentality to outwit him. Eventually, Dunne gets at WALTER's hand powering it down with shots and a submission maneuver but it's just not enough. So he takes to the skies, Dunne innovates as his life depends on it. Yet WALTER just keeps coming and coming.
That Dunne forces WALTER to got to the top to end it speaks volumes of his fighting spirit. Yet as we know the inevitable cannot be stopped, this defiant tale of Dunne trying hard to chase away the death of his reign has only one end. No matter the fight, that end comes crashing down in tragedy. It's a ballad of its own kind, the power of wrestling storytelling.
Result: WALTER hits a big top rope splash to down Pete Dunne and end his historic near 700-day title reign to win thus becoming the NEW WWE United Kingdom Champion
