Tyler Bate made his main roster debut after spending several years in NXT. He was immediately paired with Pete Dunne, and the two put on hard-hitting matches against the likes of The Judgment Day at Elimination Chamber. The tag team was eventually sent back down to NXT, where the 27-year-old unfortunately injured himself.

Tyler Bate penned an emotional post on Instagram, letting his fans know about his recent major injury. He posted a photo of himself wearing a sling and a few more photos of him undergoing surgery. The British wrestler captioned the photos, saying that he had torn his left pectoral major and tendon off the bone during last week’s NXT show.

Needless to say, he will be absent from WWE TV for a while, and he has asked his fans not to miss him too much. Despite the injury, he claimed to be in positive spirits. He was looking forward to seeing his fans and wrestlers soon, sending them lots of love.
