Tyler Bate out of action ‘for a bit’ following WWE NXT injury

Tyler Bate is out of action.

Michael Cole on commentary during Raw said Bate would be “out of action for a bit.” He explained that Bate was injured on the July 2 episode of NXT, where New Catch Republic defeated Hank Walker & Tank Ledger.

On Raw, Pete Dunne ended up working a singles match, losing to Bronson Reed. After the match, Reed continued to assault Dunne until Sheamus came down for the save. When Sheamus attempted to hug Dunne, he shoved Sheamus away. It was pointed out on commentary that it was Sheamus that left the Brawling Brutes, leaving Dunne and Ridge Holland by themselves.

As part of this year’s WWE Draft, New Catch Republic were drafted to Raw. Aside from a fatal four way match in May, the team have rarely made appearances on the brand, instead working NXT. They had most recently lost a tag team turmoil match on NXT, becoming the last team to be eliminated by eventual winners Chase U.
