-- Yesterday on WWE Raw, Michael Cole dropped a line that Tyler Bate would be out of action for a bit after suffering an injury on last week's episode of NXT. While he didn't provide any further details on the issue, Bate posted to Instagram today revealing that he underwent surgery to repair torn pectoral muscles.
Tore my left pectoral major & tendon off the bone last week at NXT. Surgery yesterday was successful and all has been put back where it belongs. I’ll be gone for some time while I recover, try not to miss me too much. I’m in good spirits and looking forward to seeing you all again soon, lots of love,
