WWE Greatest Royal Rumble: Predicting 10 Entrants Not Yet Announced

4. Pete Dunne

'The Bruiserweight' and current United Kingdom Champion was turned babyface by virtue of Roderick Strong joining The Undisputed Era at his expense during their Tag Team Title triple threat, seemingly sealing a semi-regular spot on NXT in the process.

Their feud should keep his British Strong Style colleagues Tyler Bate and Trent Seven busy too, but Dunne deserves greater status than the Moustache Mountain also-rans on the developmental brand.

A supreme all-rounder for somebody so young, Dunne has left the chasing pack at his heel, and would have no trouble pulling focus even if he had 49 other faces (and heels) to compete with. His next great test presumably won't be until the Royal Albert Hall's two-night tournament in London, but a modicum of success on other international waters would add yet more stock to a remarkable wrestling CV.

It remains to be seen if full time life as a WWE Superstar even awaits him once the company have admitted defeat on their deeply flawed and potentially unsalvageable UK-only project anyway. This would be as good a chance as any to ingratiate him with such a large portion of the roster and give the belt itself a small sense of international prestige.
