Former NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne was looking for a match tonight. With Karrion Kross accepting Finn Balor's challenge, Dunne needed to release some steam. He got a response to his challenge as he was attacked by Leon Ruff.
Pete Dunne w/Oney Lorcan vs Leon Ruff on NXT
Leon Ruff shocked Pete Dunne with his unorthodox offense. A kip-up enzuigiri stunned Pete, but he managed to catch Ruff bouncing off the ropes into a nasty web of submissions. Ruff broke away but a clothesline nearly took the jaw off the former NXT North American Champion.
A rebound clothesline hit Dunne, but he countered the springboard cutter with a forearm that knocked Ruff out in mid-air. After that, a modified triangle choke and a series of elbows to the back of the head forced the ref to call for the bell.
Result: Pete Dunne defeated Leon Ruff via ref stoppage on NXT.
Grade: B-
After the match, Dunne sent a message to Leon Ruff and anybody else thinking of stepping up to the Bruiserweight. Maybe Ruff should've listened to William Regal earlier...
