WWE UK Championship Match Official For NXT TakeOver: Chicago

WWE has officially announced that at the upcoming NXT TakeOver: Chicago, which will air live on May 20th on the WWE Network, Tyler Bate will defend the WWE United Kingdom Championship against "The Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne.

The match was made official following the recent set of WWE United Kingdom Championship television tapings in Norwich, England. Bate defeated Mark Andrews to retain the championship, while Dunne defeated Trent Seven to become the number-one contender for the championship.

Below is WWE's official announcement regarding the match via WWE.com:

Keep calm, because this rematch is bound to be anything but.

WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne provided the WWE Universe with an absolute classic earlier this year to crown the first WWE United Kingdom Champion on WWE Network.  Now, following Dunne’s victory over Trent Seven in a No. 1 Contender’s Match and Bate defending his title against Mark Andrews, both in Norwich, England, the two Superstars will throw down yet again, this time at NXT TakeOver: Chicago.

Bate and Dunne became instant impact players in their first meeting in January. The two had severe bad blood heading into the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Championship Match as the always-sinister Dunne blindsided Bate before their final-round contest began.

However, The Bruiserweight’s plan wound up being nullified by an unbelievably gutsy performance by Bate, who became the inaugural WWE U.K. Champion after a match that could have swung in either competitor’s direction.

Will Bate keep the momentum rolling as the WWE United Kingdom Champion and defeat Dunne yet again? Or, will the ultra-aggressive Bruiserweight break through and break Bate en route to capturing the title?
