WWE Superstar Shake-Up: 8 NXT Superstars who could make it to the main roster

#3 Pete Dunne

The former NXT UK Champion might want another shot to regain his title, but the main roster might be calling as well.

Dunne still wants a rematch with WALTER in order to restart his record-setting title reign, but the bright lights and bigger matches of Raw and SmackDown are already calling.

He's one of Triple H's favorites as evidenced by the near two-year reign as NXT UK Champion. It just took the right and believable opponent to take the title from around his waist.

If Fox wants SmackDown to be focused more on the athletic side of the sport rather than the crazy storylines, then Dunne is perfect for SmackDown.

He's an extreme Jack Gallagher and has an unspoken charisma due to his aura. He's a fan of Daniel Bryan, hence the dedication to trying to rip off limbs during his matches.

Dunne likely lost the NXT UK Title for this reason and he's been the cornerstone of NXT UK since the show began.

And can you just imagine the matches he can have with Shinsuke Nakamura, Aleister Black, Samoa Joe and Bryan?
