Butch Returns as “The Bruiserweight” Pete Dunne – After Tyler Bate had emphasized that “something was missing” from his longtime friend and former Brawling Brutes partner Butch in recent weeks, a significant change unfolded on tonight’s WWE SmackDown.
During a tag-team showdown against Pretty Deadly, Tyler Bate was joined by none other than Pete Dunne, marking the return of a familiar persona. The commentators referred to him as “The Bruiserweight,” and he appeared in his classic Pete Dunne ring attire. The tron video screen displayed the name “Pete Dunne,” and the ring announcer introduced him by that name.
This shift back to the Pete Dunne persona comes after weeks of speculation and subtle hints about a possible return to his previous name and character.
