In a recent interview with SportBible, WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne discussed several topics, including the growth of the UK wrestling scene.

“Originally when I was coming up on the independents, it was just the light at the end of the tunnel. I always knew I would get here and I thought Tyler Bate could get here, but outside of that, I didn’t think that many of my peer group would be able to do this. Now fast-forward out of history with every single roster member and I’ve wrestled almost every single one of them all around the country, some of them around the world.

Likewise with the US NXT brand, the same thing. Look at that WarGames match: every single person in that match I have history with. It’s really cool how WWE has developed in British wrestling and there’s more opportunity for people who grew up loving pro wrestling.”
