WWE star could possibly be going back to using his NXT ring name before the end of 2023

Butch, formerly Pete Dunne in NXT, is currently part of The Brawling Brutes tag team with Ridge Holland. While speaking to GiveMeSport.com, Twitter account @WrestleVotes commented on the possibility of Butch going back to using the Pete Dunne name…

“I was told that it’s in the works. When Hunter [Triple H] came back, I was told that Pete Dunne was due to become Pete Dunne, but somebody said, to wait because The Brawling Brutes were catching on. When Pete Dunne returns, it won’t be as a member of the Brawling Brutes. I’m sure he’ll be back by the end of this year.”

At this time, The Brawling Brutes do not have a match for Wrestlemania 39 and their roles on television have been limited as Sheamus is currently involved in a storyline with Drew McIntyre.

🚨 Butch becoming 'Pete Dunne' has been "in the works" since Triple H took over creative in July 2022, @WrestleVotes tells @GiveMesSport. Decision to postpone was made due to the popularity of the Brutes, but the change will happen before the end of 2023.https://t.co/OBLmzP9r9x
