In an interview with ESPN, WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne commented on the backstage reaction to his match against Tyler Bate at NXT Takeover: Chicago and why he would love to face off against Brock Lesnar, as well as including another opponent on his wishlist.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On the backstage reaction to their match at NXT Takeover Chicago: “It was quite overwhelming to be honest. I didn’t expect it from the get-go, really. I’d be confident that any venue in the U.K., that there would be a fair amount of people that know who myself and Tyler are. It’s another thing to walk out in Chicago and get a great reception. And then to walk back to an even more overwhelming reception from the people in the back, the people that have been around the business for so long and all the great ones behind it all. It’s unbelievable.”

On working with Tyler Bate: “[Tyler is] one of my two favorite people to wrestle [the other being fellow U.K. performer Mark Andrews] and I’m really glad I got to share that one with him. I had a big hand in training Tyler. I got him his first ever booking, which was against me in a tag match. As proud as I am of myself for being able to hold this WWE title, I was incredibly proud of him, as well. The two Brits on such a huge show of this magnitude.”

On Brock Lesnar being a dream opponent and another name he would like to face, but is unlikely to ever happen: “I’d love to wrestle Brock Lesnar. It’s the realism, the way he carries himself. It’s 100 percent believable because he’s real. That’s someone who I’d love to get in the ring with someday. I don’t think there’s a possibility of it ever happening, but I’d also love to wrestle William Regal one day.”
