WWE SmackDown Superstar Butch will revert to his pre-call-up persona during next week’s episode of the blue brand.
Next week’s SmackDown was taped last night, as the roster will be in Cardiff, Wales next Friday ahead of WWE Clash at the Castle.
At the taping, Butch donned his Pete Dunne-era attire and reportedly wrestled as he did during his time as the Bruiserweight.

Butch is scheduled for a match against Ludwig Kaiser at the next SmackDown.
The decision to change his name and character earlier this year, prior to Vince McMahon’s retirement, drew a lot of backlash from fans.
