So Tyler Bate is the new UK Champ. Do yoy think he will be a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble? I think it would be cool and a good way to promote the WWE UK stuff.

I was wondering that last night actually. Atleast 1 of the 2 should he in it. If not both of them. Or have Tyler Bate as an entrant and dunne comes down the ramp at some point to screw him over. And a brawl ensues

No.

Plus, I think it was stated a while back the UK guys won't be working main roster shows...

I'd like to see it...plus it would give some international
promotion to the new UK Champion/ship...

A great idea...get the wrestling world talking about the UK Champion/ship.
No.

So...the UK guys have no chance of a NXT or main roster contract?

Damn right it'll be more like SmackDown.
Granted you don't know that.

As for Bate working the rumble. He's legit 19 and that is a negative in Vince's book on him. Vince doesn't like bringing in people under 20, or even 25 if he can help it. Since they tend to get in to a lot of trouble and be unprofessional.

Nah I don't see him doing the Rumble, too much other available talent to consider putting in the 19 year old fresh UK champ which more people that not have no clue who he is.

But...more people will know who he is if they put him in the Rumble...right?

I hear that...but something tells me Paige is going to be Paige...
No matter 25 years old or 35 years old...she's a free (and crazy) spirit.

I only see him doing the Rumble for promotional purposes. Not a debut yo WWE or anything of that nature. Basically have him come out with his fancy title, eliminate a guy or 2, and Maggle do some plugs, and then off he goes.

I think it'll happen.

Exactly...well put...short, simple and good exposure for him and the new title...

With an already explosive roster, plenty of NXT people to call up still, a plethora of "Legends" to pick from and with it being in Orlando I just don't think there's much of a draw for him as the new UK champ to appear. Now if we were talking something similar but with less meaning like the ATGMBR imo, then I can see them experimenting with showing off the UK champ.
