After more than a month of inactivity, a WWE star recently returned with his tag team partner and won a match. The star, who introduced a new look in April, has broken his silence and stamped their team's comeback.
Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, known as the New Catch Republic, were on hiatus as a team to allow Bate's recovery from a torn pectoral muscle. Dunne got involved in a bunch of short feuds against R-Truth, Penta, the Alpha Academy, and Sheamus. He even tried to earn a number one contender's match for the NXT Championship.
New Catch Republic officially returned on the March 31 episode of RAW in London, England, losing to The New Day. They teamed up the following month to beat The Creed Brothers on Main Event before taking another month-long hiatus.
