Some huge 2K19 news was dropped at the NXT UK tapings in Birmingham this past weekend. Two newcomers to the game’s roster have been confirmed in the form of the UK division’s shining stars: Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate. Aptly introduced by Xavier Woods, the only two men to hold the UK Championship will be making their 2K debuts, and boy am I excited to bust some faces with some British Strong Style.

Both entrances and a couple of screenshots show a rich, attention to detail when it comes to The Bruiserweight, in fact I’d go as far to say that he’s probably going to be one of the best looking models in the game. Bate on the other hand looks like a strange love-child of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Here’s hoping they make a couple of tweaks nearer the time of release.

Hopefully these two won’t be the only new additions to the game’s roster, and perhaps we’ll even see a few more of the UK boys make the cut. It shocks me that we’ve yet to see Trent Seven join his two compatriots as part of this year’s game, considering he was one of the four break-out stars of the inaugural tournament, alongside Mark Andrews as well.

Maybe there are plans for an NXT UK themed DLC pack down the line, but for now I’m more than happy to see Dunne and Bate making the jump into the digital world.

Who are you most looking forward to pitting the Brits against in this year’s game? Let us know in the comments below.
