10 WWE Wrestlers Set For Career-Best Years In 2021

10. Pete Dunne

Pete Dunne is a performer who we certainly have not seen a lot of in the last year, and most of that comes down to the pandemic. Before the restrictions began, Dunne was NXT tag champion with Matt Riddle and was having a great time in this odd pairing.

However, recent events suggest that Dunne is back and ready to make an impact. His position in NXT has been impressive, but if his indy and NXT UK days reveal anything, it's that Dunne is a natural born heel. Therefore his recent return to NXT TV and heel alignment with Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan are excellent indicators of the year he will have.

Now part of Pat McAfee's Kings of NXT stable, he seems destined to have an impactful time feuding with the Undisputed Era, in a team that feels reminiscent of his Progress days with British Strong Style.

He is in fantastic looking shape, and his return was full of energy and intensity. His NXT work in the coming year will undoubtedly be the best of his career.
