Tyler Bate is back on WWE television.
Though NXT UK has been up and running since September 17, Tyler Bate has been noticeably absent from the program. Bate was positioned as one of the top stars on the brand prior to the pandemic shutting things down in March.
On Thursday's episode, Bate returned to NXT UK to confront NXT UK Heritage Cup winner A-Kid, who was making an appearance on Noam Dar's Supernova Sessions talk show.
Bate expressed interest in facing A-Kid and the two squared off in a British Rounds matchup, which was won by A-Kid.
