Tyler Bate's luck has been running out
Tyler Bate's luck has been running out

Tyler Bate and The Velveteen Dream put on a great match this week. It was perhaps the best match of the entire show. What surprised us was the story that the announcers were telling. The story of Tyler Bate's losing streak.

After winning the United Kingdom Championship, Tyler Bate seemed like he was on top of the world. Since he lost it, he seems to have lost a step or two. This week, his bad luck continued as The Velveteen Dream picked up a massive win.

The match began with a dazzling display of technical mastery from Bate. It is clear that he's a man who can go in the ring, but somehow he's been cast to the background with other superstars stepping up their game and delivering.

As for the Velveteen Dream, there seems to be absolutely no stopping him or his incredible momentum and steam, at this point in time.
