Brawling Brutes member Butch is one of the best in-ring performers in WWE. His abilities and charisma are unimaginable. Recently, Butch shocked the world after defeating former NXT Champion Karrion Kross in a live event. It marked his first singles victory in almost 200 days.

In a live event held in Springfield, Massachusetts, on November 5, Butch faced Karrion Kross in a marquee match. The result of the match delivered a huge upset as the former NXT star defeated Kross by a roll-up. Baron Corbin was the last person Butch defeated in a singles match on April 26th this year.

Butch, formerly known as Pete Dunne, was one of the biggest names of his time in NXT. He was the NXT UK Champion for over 600 days. However, after debuting on the main roster as Butch, he had a lackluster run. This huge victory might give him the much-needed momentum to rise to the top.

As much as this victory has shocked the fans of Butch, it has also developed a huge concern for Karrion Kross. It has been a long time since Kross has been a victim of bad booking decisions. His time on the main roster has been a huge upset for his fans.

The Doom Walker has not been in any feud or storyline for over a month and has been receiving little to no screen time on WWE television. It is going to be interesting to see what implications this match will have for the careers of both superstars.

Butch invites Trent Seven to join him in WWE once again

Butch had a remarkable run on NXT during his initial days in WWE. He was introduced to the fans as the Bruiserweight alongside his close friends Tyler Bate and Trent Seven. The trio, known as the British Strong Style, had a memorable run before eventually parting ways after the release of Trent Seven by WWE in 2022.
