In his autobiography, former WWE World Champion Daniel Bryan giggled as he told of Vince McMahon's reaction to finding out about his vegan lifestyle. Unable to comprehend why somebody would forgo eating meat, McMahon had yet another reason to view Bryan with skepticism.

It marks progress then that the two finalists in WWE's UK Title Tournament both practice a vegan lifestyle. Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate are proud of their diet, one that clearly hasn't hampered their ability to grow muscle or have endless energy inside the ring. That should act as a lesson to anybody who believes muscle can only build through consumption of meat.

Maintaining such a strict diet on the road must be challenging, it's no secret that various rest stops and restaurants on the motorways of the UK don't cater to many different eating habits. Usually, it's a McDonalds burger, if you're lucky.

Once again, this displays the dedication Tyler has, he must prepare for long trips away from home if he wants to properly fuel his body.
