#2 Pete Dunne pins Roderick Strong for the title and Dream gets a rematch

Will their personal history come back to haunt one of the two participants in the match?

Once again, depending on what's in store going forward for the Velveteen Dream, a plausible finish to this match could be Dunne or Strong getting the three-count on the other so that the current champion isn't pinned but loses the title.

It gives the former champion an immediate claim to a rematch since he or she was never pinned for the title.

WWE does this when they want the champion to lose but not look weak. Think how Charlotte Flair lost her title at WrestleMania 35 although she wasn't pinned as it was a Triple Threat match with everything on the line. What did she immediately do in the following weeks? Jump right back into title contention.

If Dunne is supposed to be a fixture in NXT going forward, him winning the title would help propel that narrative and also prolong any feud he has with the Undisputed Era.

If he pins Strong, it will only enrage The Undisputed Era even more. Strong could also pin Dunne to win the title, but I think something more likely is in store if Strong is to become the new champion.
