The second ever WWE UK Title holder maintained his grip on the title, this time after a great bout against Danny Burch. Burch's strong strikes went up against Dunne's joint manipulation. While Burch would look to pummel Dunne, Dunne would try and bend Burch's hand, finger, wrist, should and elbow into directions those body parts are not meant to go in.

This was another great performance by Dunne, and it seemed in a few different instances that this could be the fight that cost him the title. From the fantastic missile dropkick to the top rope German Suplex and the Top Rope draped DDT to every time Burch seemed to lock Dunne in a Crossface, it genuinely felt like Dunne was a risk of losing his title.

This was heightened further after Dunne hit the Bitter End, only for Burch to kick out at 2. However, after working on Burch's left arm for the majority of the fight, Dunne was able to work this into the finish, trapping Burch's left arm in a triangle and bending his fingers, forcing Danny Burch with no option but to tap out to the Bruiserweight.
