WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament Review: Tyler Bate Wins
By Carl Gac
On Sunday night, WWE presented night two of their WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament. Follow along with us as we guide you through the action.
After an action packed night one, we moved on to the later rounds of the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament, live from the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, England.
Last night you may have seen the first round matches of the tournament. We now have quarter final match up pitting Tyler Bate vs Jordan Devlin, Trent Seven vs Wolfgang, Mark Andrews vs Joseph Conners and Pete Dunne vs Sam Gradwell. All eight men have a chance of becoming the first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion.
Right at the end of last night’s show we saw all eight men presented to the crowd by William Regal and commentator Nigel McGuiness. With them all stood on the ramp, Pete Dunne attacked his opponent in tonight’s semifinal, Sam Gradwell, giving him a brutal beatdown.
William Regal and Triple H reacted furiously to him doing that, and it was announced that they would look at Dunne’s actions and punish him for it. Only minutes before the show started it was announced on WWE social media that they had spoken to Gradwell and that he wanted no action to be taken against Dunne. The only thing that was announced was the fact that Dunne vs Gradwell would be the first match on tonight’s show. Gradwell wanted the chance to beat Dunne in the center of the ring, but will that beating by Dunne make an impact during that match?
The rest of the match-ups should be even affairs, with pre-tournament favorites Trent Seven and Tyler Bate looking impressive in their opening round victories. It was anyone’s guess who would walk out victorious, follow along with us as we work our way through the show.
