This is a somewhat inopportune time to make this point, given that Jinder Mahal has, almost over-night, become a figure of repugnance for SmackDown fans after earning (or, perhaps more appropriately, getting) a shot at Orton's WWE title at Backlash.

But here goes anyway: Pete Dunne really is a quintessential wrestling bad guy, who continues to command the instant hostility of the crowd (albeit a crowd which was surprisingly obedient, given the volumes of alcohol being knocked back).

Dunne is almost certain to be the first WWE UK star to make the leap to the main roster, and with Raw somewhat light on heels (particularly after Strowman's ill-timed injury) it could well be just around the corner.
