WWE News: UK Champion Pete Dunne announces he'll be a father

What's the story?

While the United Kingdom Champion might be in the middle of an intense rivalry with The Undisputed Era, it seems a completely different challenge has presented itself to Pete Dunne. The Bruiserweight announced today that he's going to be a father.

In case you didn't know...

Pete Dunne is currently hanging around the NXT brand, taking on the hottest team in the company, Undisputed Era. His former partner, Roderick Strong, turned on him over WrestleMania weekend at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, siding with Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly.

Dunne recently took on Strong on the latest episode of NXT, getting out all of the frustration that had been building up since earlier this month.

The heart of the matter

On Instagram today, Dunne announced to the world that he'll be a father in 2018. The Babyweight will be born in November 2018.

What's next?

While Dunne is anticipating the birth of his child, he has to make it to November first, which means defeating The Undisputed Era. After the latest episode of NXT, it seems that Dunne will be teaming up with Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, who recently signed with the WWE, to take on the villainous team.

Author's take

Pete Dunne is one of the best talents on the roster, and it's great to see that he's got something to look forward to outside of the business. He's got the entire NXT crowd behind him, and a whole career to look forward to. At such a young age, all things seem to be looking well for the Bruiserweight.

On behalf of all of us here at Sportskeeda, we would like to congratulate the UK Champion on the announcement.
