Bron Breakker defeats Tyler Bate, crowned unified champion at NXT Worlds Collide

Bron Breakker has unified the NXT and NXT UK Championships. 

Breakker defeated Tyler Bate in the main event of NXT Worlds Collide on Sunday. The victory was his seventh title defense in his second reign with the NXT title and his first time winning the NXT UK belt. 

Bate’s second reign with the NXT UK title began after he defeated his former tag team partner, Trent Seven, in the finals of a tournament held on July 7, 2022. 

Bate was also the inaugural holder of the NXT UK belt. He defeated Pete Dunne in the finals of the WWE United Kingdom Championship tournament in 2017 and held the title for 125 days before dropping it to Pete Dunne at NXT TakeOver: Chicago on May 20, 2017. 

Breakker becomes the fifth and possibly final wrestler to win the NXT UK title. He joins Bate, Dunne, WALTER/Gunther, and Ilja Dragunov as the only champions in the belt’s lineage.
