It was recently reported by Fightful Select that WWE NXT Superstar Pete Dunne is extremely close to the end of his WWE contract.

This week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that Pete Dunne’s WWE NXT contract is up at the end of August. There were no reports before this as to when Dunne’s contract was up, only that it is a situation similar to Adam Cole.

Pete Dunne leaving WWE?

AEW are reportedly interested in the former PROGRESS World Champion, with Dunne being in his early 20s and a performer who can work multiple styles, he is a fantastic talent to have on your roster.

“Pete Dunne’s deal is also coming due on either 8/31 or 9/1. He’s another super worker who has been in the system for years and should have been a main roster star, even if he started as part of a tag team, long ago.”

WRESTLING OBSERVER NEWSLETTER

There’s no further news on how the negotiations are going, but there is a very good chance that WWE do not want the former WWE United Kingdom Champion to be appearing on AEW Dynamite anytime soon.
