Today, WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne is celebrating 500 days as champion.
On May 20, 2017 at NXT Takeover: Chicago, The Bruiserweight defeated Tyler Bate in a fantastic back and forth match to capture the United Kingdom Championship after failing to do so in the company’s first UK tournament back in January 2017.

Dunne will also make history when he passes Brock Lesnar's recent WWE Universal Title reign of 504 days this week. The Bruiserweight took to Instagram this week and marked the milestone with the following posts, revealing a limited edition t-shirt he's released:
