10 Unique Pitches To Save Struggling WWE Stars

10. Pete Dunne

From the very beginning of NXT UK, Pete Dunne was positioned as a prominent star for the brand. Eventually, he would go on to have the second-longest reign with the WWE United Kingdom Championship until he was dethroned by Gunther, showing just how impressive he could be despite his smaller size.

For some reason, when joining the main roster, he was renamed Butch. While The Brawling Brutes wasn't bad by any means, his gimmick of being effectively a feral child was awful, and when it was abandoned, he was far better off.

Yet, for some reason, all WWE can come up with him lately is for people to call him Butch to upset him. It's not the best motivator, and when he fails to win those matches, he doesn't even seem intimidating anymore. He's basically reverted back to being a small dog with a quiet bark and little bite.

Dunne needs to find his edge again and be booked as a threat while also having someone else talk for him, but shy of William Regal filling the role of his manager, the best option might be to put Dunne with Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser to refill that third spot of Imperium.

Alternatively, teaming up with Ilja Dragunov, when he's returned from injury, could pave way for a resurgence of the Bruiserweight nickname and give the tag team division a hard-hitting duo to freshen up the scene.
