Tyler Bate sent a message after allying with Pete Dunne on WWE RAW in March this year
After allying with Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate said in a backstage interview that he was healthy and very pleased to be back on WWE television after a long hiatus due to injury. Despite losing the match against The New Day, Bate stayed positive, saying that things were looking good for the New Catch Republic.
"Indeed, I am healthy, and I am chuffed. I'm absolutely chuffed to be back here. New Catch Republic is back together. We're in the UK. We're in London at the O2 Arena. And things are looking pretty good right now. I'm back," he said.
It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for the New Catch Republic's future.
