'As soon as NXT UK became a thing, even before the UK Tournament was going on, one of our goals was to make other people in the UK bigger.'
There are almost 7,000 miles between Birmingham, England - the hometown of Pete Dunne - and Orlando, Florida, the home of NXT. But that's just a number to the former UK Champion who is building his legacy on the black and gold brand.
While all of this was happening, WWE was launching its new brand, NXT UK, in July 2018 with Pete, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven and more as its foundation. Now a full-time competitor of NXT, Dunne is preparing to move his family to Florida and start the next chapter of his career, which to him began with the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament, named after WWE Hall of Famer and former NXT coach Dusty Rhodes who passed away in 2015.
An"unlikely pairing" as Dunne puts it, but it's a big reason why Pete feels the audience likes it so much. The two worked briefly in the independents and live events as a tag team, but their chemistry in and out of the ring propelled the duo to their NXT Tag Team Championship match against Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish atAt that event the"Broserweights" captured the titles - the first for either wrestler on the NXT brand.
A part of being champion is defending the titles, and the next challenge for the Broserweights is a rematch with The Undisputed Era on Wednesday night.
