# 3. Pete Dunne (NXT North American Championship)
Ricochet defeated Adam Cole at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn IV in an excellent showing. However, after the match, Ricochet was confronted by Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong. Interestingly Pete Dunne would intervene on Richochet's behalf, see video below.
The confrontation is interesting. Firstly, it legitimized the threat of Undisputed Era to Richochet's reign. Moreover, Pete Dunne looked immensely threatening and a credible challenger. With NXT UK still taking shape, it frees Dunne to pursue other interests.
A match between Richochet and Pete Dunne would be dramatic. Moreover, their wrestling styles match nicely. However, perhaps the best aspect would be the storytelling. Firstly, it builds prestige for UK division wrestlers. Secondly, it maintains the crossover between NXT and NXT UK for the future. That is an integral element to both brand's success.
