Brawling Brutes member Butch bagged his first televised singles win since November 2022 on the latest episode of SmackDown.
Butch pinned Baron Corbin in less than two minutes to earn a spot in the upcoming Money In The Bank ladder match over in his native England. To put that into context, a certain Pete Dunne hasn't won a one-one-one bout on WWE TV since beating Sami Zayn way back on the 18 November edition.
That was a first round bound in the SmackDown World Cup, which honestly feels like it happened a lifetime ago at this point. Of course, Butch mainly works tag-team matches alongside his partners Ridge Holland and Sheamus, but he has had a scatter of singles matches on TV since pinning Sami.
All of them ended in defeat, but Friday night was different.
Triple H and his creative team tossed Butch a bone here. It'll mean a lot to him personally to take part in MITB over in London, and a special performance there could pave the way towards a more sustained singles career on the main roster.
For now, Butch is probs just happy he got to win a singles scrap.
