William Regal Puts Over Pete Dunne, Believes He Will Have A Leadership Role Later In His Career

Pete Dunne has become a favorite for a lot of fans of NXT, but he’s probably got no bigger fan supporting him than NXT’s General Manager William Regal.

Regal talked to The Wrestling Notebook about Dunne, and while Regal was complimentary of Dunne’s in ring ability, it was the things he does outside of the ring that had Regal stand up and take note, putting over Dunne’s professionalism.

“Beyond his years. He’s incredibly professional, and very good at what he does, which is always a bonus! He’s everything you have said he is, he’s level-headed. He doesn’t cause any trouble and, with his age group and the people around him, he’s an influence on them just by the way he acts. He doesn’t have to enforce anything on anybody, they just gravitate towards him because he’s just a very likable, smart fella who keeps his head down, is polite and will help people. He’s the one from Britain but there’s not just him, there’s a few over here as well. I see the same exact kind of things [in them] and they’ll be the ones who are sat around the table where me, Shawn Michaels and Triple H sit in the next ten or 15 years. They’ll be the ones taking over the roles because they don’t get involved in any of that; let’s just say that they think for more than a second before pressing a button, which seems very hard for a lot of people in this day and age.”

Dunne was a big help for NXT: UK when they returned from the pandemic, being listed as one of the producers for the tapings. He has been booked prominently on NXT the last few months since being able to travel stateside, and he has a featured matchup on NXT TakeOver: Stand And Deliver this week when he faces Kushida.
