Pete Dunne has held the WWE United Kingdom Championship for more than a year now after defeating Tyler Bate at NXT TakeOver: Chicago last year. It could be argued that in that time Dunne has defended his Championship less than Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, but one of the reasons for this is because the United Kingdom Division is lacking any kind of identity right now.
Dunne is being used as a sideshow act on NXT instead of being given a permanent place in the company and this has left him with a lack of stars to defend his Championship against with Dunne already defeating the likes of Adam Cole, Tyler Bate, Mark Andrews and even Roderick Strong.
There's no doubting that the company expects a lot from The Bruiserweight in the future, which is why he has been able to dominate his division for the past year, but with the second annual United Kingdom Championship Tournament on the horizon, a worthy challenger could finally arise.
#5 Flash Morgan Webster
After making a brief but impressive appearance on 205 Live last week when the company broadcast live from The O2 in London, Flash Morgan Webster was announced as one of the participants for the upcoming United Kingdom Tournament.
Many United States fans won't be aware of the star who calls himself The Modfather of British Wrestling, aside from his recent WWE appearance, but they are definitely in for a treat. Morgan kicks off his involvement in the tournament with a match against James Drake but hopefully, he can make it all the way to the final to arrange a date with the current United Kingdom Champion.
An added bonus here is the fact that Dunne and Webster are best friends and know each other very well, which will only add to the chemistry that the duo has in the ring.
#4 Jordan Devlin
Jordan Devlin is no stranger to the WWE United Kingdom scene since he was part of the Inaugural tournament last year but only made it through to the quarterfinals before he was defeated by eventual winner Tyler Bate.
Devlin has been likened to Finn Balor throughout his career after growing up in the same small village as the former Universal Champion and adopting a similar wrestling style. Whilst Devlin was overlooked at last year's tournament, he is one of the familiar faces that the company has decided to bring back this year and with the luck of the Irish on his side, it's easy to see him coming out on top.
#3 Jack Gallagher
Jack Gallagher has been creating waves in WWE ever since he was added to the roster following the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic. He has proved a number of times that he is worthy of a much higher place on WWE's roster, but is currently featured on 205 Live.
The British star has recently been named as one of the participants in the upcoming United Kingdom Tournament alongside fellow Cruiserweight star Drew Gulak. What many fans don't know is that Gallager and Dunne have history, the duo collided back in the summer of 2016 at Progress for the chance to be part of The Cruiserweight Classic on a night when The Gentleman came out on top.
If it's Gallager who makes it to the final, with the result of their next meeting be the same?
#2 Mark Andrews
There are only a handful of United Kingdom talents who have been able to make any kind of impact in WWE over the past 16 months and one of those men has to be Mark Andrews. The high flying Welsh superstar has impressed the company so much with his unique offense that he has been moved over to the 205 Live brand.
Andrews and Dunne collided in the first United Kingdom Tournament last year where it was Dunne who came out on top. The duo has renewed their rivalry a number of times over the past year and even though Andrews hasn't been named as one of the participants in the upcoming tournament, he is one of the UK stars from last year that the company has kept around. The likes of Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, and Wolfgang make up the stars that WWE have kept around and it appears that Andrews is the only one currently in a prominent position in the company.
Andrews has pushed Dunne to the brink before, could he do it again?
#1 Neville
Neville will always be considered to be one of the best options that the United Kingdom has to offer. The former Cruiserweight Champion proved his worth when he reigned at the top of the NXT brand all those years ago before WWE seemingly lost faith in him.
The best memory of Neville is the incredible match he had on Raw against Seth Rollins for the World Championship where he was inches away from becoming the first Britsh World Champion, but it wasn't to be.
Neville is all but gone from the company right now, but given the news that he has moved back to the United Kingdom, there is nothing stopping him from returning in his native country and being the man to finally overcome Dunne. The duo have never met in the ring and it would definitely be a clash of styles, but would it be enough of a pull for Neville to put aside his issues and return to WWE?
