The match for the United Kingdom Championship at NXT Takeover: Chicago is now official. Champion Tyler Bate will be defending his title against ‘The Brusierweight’ Pete Dunne.
Dunne defeated Tyler’s ‘Moustache Mountain’ tag team partner Trent Seven to solidify his place in the title bout on May 20th. Bate also had to earn his place on the Chicago card by defeating Mark Andrews in a title match the very same night.
WWE COO Triple H also confirmed that the two nights of Norwich tapings would be airing on the WWE Network ‘later this month.’
