7 Things That Must Happen At NXT TakeOver: Orlando

6. Tyler Bate Must Defend The UK Championship

Tyler Bate has defended the WWE United Kingdom Championship just once since winning it on January 15. What is WWE's plan with the belt? Whilst it was never expected to truly be a full-time thing, one title defence in two and a half months seems somewhat neglectful.

Bate will defend the title against Mark Andrews at PROGRESS Wrestling's show in Orlando on Friday night, and WWE should follow that match up with another championship bout at TakeOver. Bate is scheduled to wrestle at WrestleMania Axxess also, and a run of major title matches over the weekend would do wonders for the prestige and credibility of the belt.

WrestleMania weekend is shaping up to be an extremely busy one for young Tyler Bate. The responsibilities of carrying a WWE-sanctioned championship are huge, and this represents the first major test for the moustachioed chap from Dudley.
