Tyler Bate recently spoke with Justin Barrasso for Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard; you can read a few highlights below:
Tyler Bate comments on his in-ring abilities, facing Pete Dunne at NXT Takeover:
“Fans will learn I am an alien and I’m capable of anything you can think of in a wrestling ring. Anything that you can possibly think of, I can more than likely do.”
“I have no doubts that my match with Pete Dunne is going to steal the show at TakeOver. I plan on taking Pete’s head off and holding it high above my head for all of Chicago and the WWE to see.”
Bate talks about the reputation of Chicago’s wrestling crowds, expectations for his title defense:
“I’ve never been to Chicago. I know Chicago is quite famous for being rowdy and loud. I imagine it’s like the British crowd, and I’m looking forward to see what they throw at us.
“Me and Pete barely scratched the surface of what we were capable of during the U.K. tournament, so I’m really looking forward to showing the WWE Universe what we can do at TakeOver.”
Bate talks about his Wrestlemania weekend experience:
“I got to go over and watch WrestleMania. AJ Styles and Shane McMahon was my favorite match this year. I’ve always been a big fan of the big flippy stuff, really, as ridiculous as that sounds. It’s really cool when Shane McMahon is able to pull out a shooting star press.”
