<p>Dunne was later forced to defend his Championship against 2018 United Kingdom winner Zack Gibson, something that Dunne took in his stride as he continued to put together a record-setting reign that now stands at an impressive 600 days, dating all the way back to NXT Takeover: Chicago in 2017. </p>



<p>The Bruiserweight is on the cusp of a two year title reign but he needs to overcome the threat of Joe Coffey this weekend if he has any hopes of further cementing his name in the history books. </p>



<p>The fact that Dunne has been able to reign his division for so long proves that the company thinks highly of him as Champion and it means that the person that succeeds him will have to be someone very special. </p>
