WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate made his NXT debut and was greeted by one of NXT’s hardest-hitting Superstars, Oney Lorcan.
The Boston native didn’t hold back in unleashing his trademark striking offense, pummeling the 19-year-old Brit with emphatic blows. The Dudley, England, native —who outlasted 15 of the United Kingdom’s top Superstars to become the first-ever WWE United Kingdom Champion — showcased remarkable resilience though, storming back behind his crowd-pleasing airplane spin. After a spirited comeback, Bate would eventually nail the Tyler Driver ’97 on Lorcan to pick up an impressive debut victory.
