NXT put on a wrestling-lite episode that has come to be expected following a Takeover

#2 Pete Dunne

Dunne had a great match in the main event of the episode, going up against fellow UK wrestler Zack Gibson.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Dunne brought out the best of his aggressive, athletic fighting style against the Liverpudlian. Dunne worked steadily throughout the match, manipulating his opponent's joints and aggressive strikes and slams.

Dunne would pick up the victory after escaping the Shankly Gates and hitting Dunne's patented Bitter End.

Dunne's grasp on the WWE UK Title has been relatively unchallenged since taking it of Tyler Bate back at Takeover: Chicago, over a year ago.

Dunne will team with NXT North American Champion Riccochet against the Undisputed Era, a team the Bruiserweight already has significant history with.
