Current NXT UK and former RAW star Noam Dar has commented on Butch's current character on WWE SmackDown.

When Pete Dunne was called up from NXT to the main roster, he was named Butch and became a part of the Brawling Brutes faction. During his main-roster run, he faced the likes of Drew McIntyre, The New Day, and more.

In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Noam Dar praised the SmackDown Superstar for his character's performance and stated that he was glad Butch is finally getting the recognition he deserves.

"I think Butch is great. The character is extremely entertaining and also very believable. Butch is someone I've known for a long time, and he works extremely hard and he has a wide variety of talent and skill available to him so I'm glad people are seeing that," the NXT UK star said. (4:40-4:59)

Before his main-roster call-up this year, Dunne captured the NXT United Kingdom Championship and even held the developmental brand's tag team championship with Riddle.
