Pete Dunne Seeks Intercontinental Title Shot

Pete Dunne is voicing his frustration over Sheamus continuing to refer to him as 'Butch', a name he associates with a tumultuous period in his career that he claims nearly derailed him. Dunne, who recently advanced in the WWE Intercontinental Championship number one contender tournament by defeating The Miz and Xavier Woods, expressed in a Raw Exclusive that he wants to be called 'champion' instead. He emphasized that being called Butch is demoralizing and reflects poorly on Sheamus’ character. Dunne's rivalry with Sheamus has intensified, with Dunne stating that he deserves better recognition and is focused on winning the title. He believes that after overcoming setbacks, he is ready to reclaim his identity in the ring. The next step for Dunne is to win the upcoming four-way match on September 9 to earn a championship shot.
