History Wrestling / BritishStrongStyle

* BatmanGambit: Their plan to take the Tag Team Championships back from CCK at ''[[Wrestling/ProgressWrestling Chapter 51]]''. The main event of that show was a six-person tag match between CCK (Wrestling/TravisBanks, Chris Brookes, and Kid Lykos) and British Strong Style. Before the match started, BSS added a stipulation to the match. If BSS won, Trent and Tyler would get the Tag Team Championships back. But if CCK won, BSS would never challenge them for the Tag Team Championships ever again. British Strong Style won the match via [[DropTheHammer sledgehammer shot]] to Kid Lykos, thus becoming the Tag Team Champions once again. This entire plan would have failed completely had CCK simply refused to add the stipulation to the match.
* DropTheHammer: The team adopted Triple H's signature sledgehammer as weapons after their NXT deal. Also a case of PassingTheTorch.

* CanonName: Pete Dunne was relegated to the background "real name" of the Butch character on [=SmackDown=] due to Wrestling/VinceMcMahon hardening his stance against debuting newly signed or called-up talent with their real life or preexisting independent names.[[note]]Vince has long alternated his position on this over the years, relaxing the policy when the original names were marketable and/or the talent reliable enough business-wise that merchandising them would still be safely profitable while strictly enforcing it when logistical costs proved otherwise. The 2022 reenforcement of this position reportedly was caused by legal challenges over merchandise royalties on the part of both Wrestling/KeithLee and Chelsea Green.[[/note]]

* FinishingMove: ''Tyler Driver '97'', a sit-out double underhook powerbomb, made famous by Wrestling/MitsuharuMisawa. For much bigger opponents he uses a corkscrew senton bomb that he calls the ''Spinny Boi''.

* FinishingMove: The Bitter End, a complicated-looking move best described as a Pumphandle Flatliner. Outside WWE he has another variation called the Better End, ending the move with a Tombstone Piledriver rather than a Flatliner. Or sometimes... (see above)

* FinishingMove: Tyler Driver '97, a sit-out double underhook powerbomb, made famous by Wrestling/MitsuharuMisawa.

* FinishingMove: The Seven Star Lariat, a [[Wrestling/KazuchikaOkada Rainmaker lariat]],[[note]]He doesn't usually hit this when he tries it in Progress, because it's also the finisher of more serious Progress contender Wrestling/JimmyHavoc as the "Acid Rainmaker"[[/note]] and the Seventh Heaven, a SpinningPiledriver.

* EvilVegetarian: All three of them are vegans in RealLife.

* BookEnds: Bate was the first and last NXT United Kingdom Champion.

* HeelFaceTurn: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He never really had the turn 'moment' associated with most turns in pro wrestling (unless you count his getting caught in the middle of the conflict between NXT's Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra and several other stars). His character also didn't change all that much, still being an extremely smug, standoffish, prize fighter who is brutal to the point of near sadism and doesn't tend to get along well with others (with the exception of his two best friends). But while he is still all of those things, he's also very much ''not'' a coward, and while he tends to [[CombatPragmatist bend a lot of rules]] (and appendages), he seldom, if ever, cheats outright. It allows him to operate in something of a [[WildCard gray area where he can be booked as a]] [[DesignatedVillain heel by default]] against more classic babyface roles, but is most definitely a face against classical heels. Although, in NXT UK, he's pretty unambiguously a face and has been from the jump, probably because NXT writers are smart enough to not make things impossible for themselves by trying to cast him as a heel. (See AHeroToHisHometown) This would become played straight at Clash at the Castle 2022, with the Cardiff crowd giving Sheamus and the Brawling Brutes (of which Dunne[=/=]Butch was a member of) after a grueling match with Gunther.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: When Sheamus and Ridge introduced him to [=SmackDown=], they mention that he's been known by another name, but to them he's always been Butch. Pat [=McAfee=] would reinforce this on commentary during their match against Wrestling/KofiKingston and Wrestling/BigE with him at ringside. This has stuck as his name going forward.

* WeaponOfChoice: The team adopted Triple H's signature sledgehammer as weapons after their NXT deal. Also a case of PassingTheTorch.

* PowerTrio: He and Ridge upon joining the [=SmackDown=] roster would both be connected to Sheamus as part of his ''Series/PeakyBlinders''-inspired "Fight Night" stable, where he goes by their nickname for him as Butch. [=McAfee=], oddly enough, would nickname them "The Eastie Boyz" during their feud with New Day.

* HeelFaceTurn: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He never really had the turn 'moment' associated with most turns in pro wrestling (unless you count his getting caught in the middle of the conflict between NXT's Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra and several other stars). His character also didn't change all that much, still being an extremely smug, standoffish, prize fighter who is brutal to the point of near sadism and doesn't tend to get along well with others (with the exception of his two best friends).

* OralFixationFixation: Whenever he has a belt, he usually poses with it holding one end in his teeth.

* ActionDad: Has a baby daughter, born in late 2018.

* NiceHat: As Butch.

* EvilBrit: Obviously. {{Averted|Trope}} in NXT, where Bate and Seven have been faces in nearly all appearances, leaving Dunne to play it straight. Until Dunne himself turned in the lead-up to the ''NXT UK'' brand launching. As of the end of 2018, the entire stable is face on WWE programming.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: He's known for spinning his opponents around, similar to how Cesaro would. His [[https://streamable.com/jv9e8 Airplane Spin]] is truly a sight to behold.
