Per the Wrestling Observer, the belief is that Dunne's WWE contract formally expires on 1 September.

Unless a new deal can be agreed upon, the former NXT UK Champion will be able to work for any other wrestling promotion as soon as his current WWE deal expires - with the natural expiry of said deal meaning that no non-compete clause will be in place.

The 27-year-old Dunne has been with WWE since 2017, penning an official contract shortly after being announced to compete in the two-night tournament designed to crown the first ever NXT UK Champion; a tournament he'd lose to Tyler Bate in the final of.

Dunne would eventually topple Bate to become NXT UK Champ, embarking on a 685-day reign that was halted at the hands of WALTER. More recently, the 14-year veteran has been seen on main NXT television alongside Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and now Ridge Holland.
