Tyler Bate is one of the best professional wrestlers that no one is talking about. He already has eleven years under his belt, but he is seemingly one that fans forget to mention when talking about the young talents taking over the industry today. That’s widely because of how WWE uses this talented star.
Bate was set to be the focal point of WWE’s expansion into Europe, but that was all brought to a screeching halt. The company knew his talent commanded a spot on the roster, but he’s part of an NXT brand where the focus is on other names on this list. Could Bate have a run on the main roster? He could, but it’s hard to see him even breaking through to a mid-card championship in a promotion that values more on star power rather than in-ring performance.
