Tyler Bate undergoes successful surgery for torn pec

Last Tuesday (July 2) on NXT, Tyler Bate teamed with his New Catch Republic tag partner Pete Dunne as they picked up a win over Hank Walker & Tank Ledger. Last night (July 8) on Raw, WWE informed us that Bate suffered an injury during that match, Michael Cole said the 27 year old English lad would be “out of action for a bit.”

In revealing the exact nature of his injury today, Bate upgraded his time off estimate to “quite some time”. He also shared some pics from before and after the surgery he had to reattach his left pectoral major muscle and tendon.

Tore my left pectoral major & tendon off the bone last week at NXT.Surgery yesterday was successful and all has been put back where it belongs.
I’ll be gone for some time while I recover, try not to miss me too much.
I’m in good spirits and looking forward to seeing you all again soon, lots of love,

b i g s t r o n g b o i ❤️

It will almost certainly be 2025 before we see Tyler again. We’ll wish him the best for a complete recovery, and see what Dunne does in his absence. For starters, it seems WWE may circle back to the Brawling Brutes split and include Pete in Sheamus’ story...
