#4 The Bruiserweight to SmackDown Live
For the past 685 days (until this past Friday), Pete Dunne led the NXT UK division as their champion, and every step of the way, he proved that not only is he the best wrestler in WWE's UK division, but perhaps the world, and it's time he makes the big leap to the WWE main roster proper.
His match with Walter was an absolutely amazing way to see him off from the NXT UK brand, and while there's a certain possibility he moves to NXT for a while before going to the main roster, he has been ready for several years now.
Pete has the character work, the look, the in-ring skill, and the presence that will one day make him a WWE Champion, and if he gets a hard push right out of the gate, that could happen as early as WrestleMania 36.
