Pete Dunne, the NXT UK star recently returned to the United States after being away from WWE for eight months amid COVID-19 pandemic. During Wrestling Inc. Live podcast, he talked about his comeback to WWE.
Pete Dunne joined forces with Pat McAfee upon his return
The Bruiserweight returned at NXT: Halloween Havoc and assaulted  Kyle O’Reilly of the Undisputed Era, turning heel in the process for the first time since 2018. He then joined hands with Pat McAfee’s faction alongside Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan.
On his plans of return at Halloween Havoc, he said:
“It was very sudden actually. At the same time, when I left with my visa came up for renewal and everything shut down it wasn’t a simple process. When it started moving, it all happened pretty fast. It was in the space of a couple of weeks. Hearing it would be at Halloween Havoc, I liked the chance to be back. It was building up when I got to do that little bit for NXT UK and got to help backstage there. It helped scratch the itch a bit, but it felt great to be back and focus on something as big as War Games coming up.”
On working with Pat McAfee he said:
“It feels like a winning combination for me. I’ve always sort of let my matches and the performance do a lot of the speaking. That’s what I have become known for, putting on those kinds of matches. Then aligning with someone like Pat has given me this sort of different angle. It’s a different approach and interesting. Say what you want about him, but [Pat] is so charismatic and knows how to get a reaction.”
Pete Dunne was part of the NXT Wargames in 2018 alongside Ricochet and the War Raiders and they were successful to beat The Undisputed Era.
This year at the event, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Bobby Fish) will take on The Kings of NXT (Pat McAfee, Pete Dunne, Danny Burch, and Oney Lorcan) in a Wargames match on December 6.
