Tyler Bate undergoes surgery for torn pec

Tyler Bate had surgery on Monday.

Michael Cole revealed during Raw that Bate will be out of action “for a bit” after suffering an injury on the July 2 episode of WWE NXT. Bate has since revealed on Instagram that he underwent surgery for a torn pec yesterday.

“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,
b i g s t r o n g b o i”

Bate and Dunne defeated Hank Walker & Tank Ledger last week on NXT. Dunne then appeared on Raw on Monday and wrestled Bronson Reed. After the match, Reed continued to attack Dunne until Sheamus came out to make the save. However, Dunne shoved Sheamus away after as the commentary team discussed their history together in the Brawling Brutes.
