BIG STRONG BATE

Tyler Bate has no intentions of following Pete Dunne over to the States just yet — he is fully focused on restoring respect to NXT in the UK reports The Sun. The 22-year-old superstar made history in January 2017 when he was crowned WWE’s first-ever UK Champion. Ten months later he would lose the belt to close friend Pete Dunne — who went on to hold it until

NXT Takeover: New

York in April when he was defeated by

Walter. Dunne, one of the founding members of the

NXT UK roster, has recently transferred over to the US brand of the

Triple H-ran wrestling product. Many expected Bate, widely-regarded as one of the best wrestlers on the planet, to be closely following him — but he is adamant there are no plans in the pipeline yet.
