Tyler Bate is looking forward to a lengthy future on SmackDown after arriving on the scene during this week\’s episode.
The January 5, 2024, episode of SmackDown was the show\’s New Year\’s Revolution special and was the final show of WWE\’s stacked first week of 2024 programming. In the show\’s main event, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight competed for a shot at Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Thanks to interference from The Bloodline, no winner would be determined, and Nick Aldis\’ announcement of a fatal four-way match would infuriate the Tribal Chief.
Tyler Bate is Here to Stay
On this week\’s SmackDown, Bate made his debut as the mystery tag-team partner of Butch. The pair of former WWE United Kingdom Champions proved to team together seamlessly and got the victory over Pretty Deadly.

Tyler Bate on The Main Roster
Bate\’s arrival this week shouldn\’t come as a huge surprise to fans. Last month, it was reported that WWE was considering bringing Bate to the main roster. While Bate is smaller than many on the main roster, his size isn\’t considered as big a deal now with Vince McMahon no longer running WWE\’s creative department. It is stated that WWE CCO Paul \’Triple H\’ Levesque is far more open-minded as to who can be a top star.
