Tonight’s WWE SmackDown episode brought a wave of excitement as a rekindled tag team took the stage to unveil their reimagined identity.
Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne, who have recently reunited, took a pivotal moment backstage to announce their new team name ahead of their impending showdown for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.
During an interview segment, Tyler Bate articulated the duo’s desire for a fresh start, underscoring the importance of embracing change with a new name to reflect their renewed partnership. After deliberation, they settled on the moniker ‘New Catch Republic’, a testament to their shared vision and determination to conquer the tag team division.
Their announcement, however, was met with an amusing interruption from Dominik Mysterio, injecting a dose of spontaneity into the proceedings. Pete Dunne’s witty retort added an element of humor, captivating viewers and setting the stage for an electrifying rivalry.
With their sights set on championship gold, the newly christened New Catch Republic is primed to challenge Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and Damian Priest for the Tag Team Championship at Elimination Chamber in Perth, Western Australia on February 24th.
