Johnny Wrestling tries to become the first American to capture the WWE United Kingdom Title when he battles champion Pete Dunne tonight on WWE NXT at 8/7 C.

Pete Dunne is looking for a fight, and he’s going to get one from Johnny Gargano. The WWE United Kingdom Champion issued an open challenge for his coveted title and NXT General Manager William Regal offered the opportunity to Johnny Wrestling.

Although he has been struggling since becoming a singles wrestler, Gargano gladly accepted the offer from Regal, and now he will look to not only put a stop to his singles slide, but do so while winning the WWE United Kingdom Title.

A victory for the Cleveland native will make him only the third Superstar to hold the WWE United Kingdom Title and the first American to hold the prized championship. Yet, Gargano will have to fight his way past the rugged Bruiserweight first.

Dunne is arguably one of the toughest all-around competitors in all WWE and someone who is always looking to unleash a beating on his opponent. Will Dunne make Gargano wish he never accepted this open challenge? Or will Dunne regret putting his title on the line?

Find out tonight at 8/7C on the award-winning WWE Network.
