So, as it turns out, Jack Starz has accepted Tyler Bate's offer of a Heritage Cup opportunity, thus eliminating the potential of Starz's journey en-route to deeming himself worthy of such a match. A minor Down for that.
Jack's vignette worked tremendously well ahead of next Thursday's trophy bout, though.
Starz talked about how he looked on from the side while Bate lifted the inaugural United Kingdom Championship in January 2017. and how he had gone through the most tryouts in WWE history to officially be offered a deal. Starz kept fighting to one day compete in a marquee match such as this. It's why he wrestled every day for six weeks at a time on the classic BritWres holiday camps, comparing his journey to that of William Regal and Robbie Brookside.
He's not winning the trophy from Tyler because lol, but this did a lot to solidify Jack Starz as a credible contender. The guy desperately needed that aspect to his character. Roll on next Thursday.
