10 Superstars Who Could Be WWE's Next Top Heels
5. Pete Dunne
In one night, Pete Dunne managed to generate enough heat to keep the North of England warm for six months. Thanks to some extremely will executed backstage 'worked shoot' segments, and some impeccable performances by Dunne both in and out of the ring, the twenty-four year old Birmingham native became an overnight success between the WWE Network's UK Championship Tournament and the company's social media platforms.
There's just no one quite like The Bruiserweight working in WWE right now. He's got the no nonsense, brawling aggression of The Revival, sure, but he combines that with the smoothness and technical proficiency of a Daniel Bryan, and the terrifying intensity of a young Kurt Angle. His entire style and persona is an amalgamated love letter to proficiency from the UK, America, and Japan, but it all fits together in a way that seemingly everyone can appreciate.
Fans are eagerly awaiting news of a more permanent role for Dunne in NXT or on WWE's main roster, and when he does make that leap to Full Sail or Stamford, it's hard to imagine him not becoming one of the most instantly unlikable heels on whichever brand he lands.
