3 WWE Superstars Triple H expected to fail and 3 he tipped to succeed

#3 Triple H tipped Pete Dunne to succeed

It has been clear from the beginning of WWE’s United Kingdom association that Triple H sees Pete Dunne as a star of the future.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

In storyline, the first episode of the two-night tournament to crown the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion ended with Dunne attacking his quarter-final opponent, Sam Gradwell, right in front of William Regal.

As you can see above, this led to a brief interaction backstage with Triple H, who smirked and simply said, “Make a name for yourself.”

While this was almost certainly a scripted moment, Triple H does not get involved in on-screen segments with just anybody. He must have seen something in Dunne at that stage to have considered him worthy of sharing the screen with him.

In 2018, Triple H even mentioned “The Bruiserweight” when he was asked to name somebody who could become WWE’s first British World Heavyweight Champion.

"If I had to pick one guy it would be Pete and I hate to pick one guy because sometimes that's the worst thing you can do to someone, but there's a lot of talent out there who I feel could be the next one to go to the main roster and make an impact." [H/T Sky Sports]

As we will discuss later in this article, the honor of becoming the first British World Champion in WWE actually went to Drew McIntyre.
