New Catch Republic Make Surprise Return During 3/31 WWE RAW

WWE brought RAW to the O2 Arena in London for their March 31 episode. There was a lot on the table all night, with the road to WrestleMania in full swing. Naturally, surprises are always possible.

New Catch Republic haven’t wrestled together since July 2024. This week on RAW, that ended as Adam Pearce announced that Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne were the New Day’s surprise opponents.

The New Day have been trying to get a tag team title match. The War Raiders are the current champions, but Adam Pearce made it clear that Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston had to get through the New Catch Republic first.

Pete Dunne was on his A-Game for this match. Tyler Bate was able to hit his airplane spin as well. The New Day used their latest heel tactics as well, but New Catch Republic didn’t go down without a fight. In the end, The New Day won the match after nailing Dunne with their finisher.

Tyler Bate has been recovering from a torn pec for around 9 months, but he’s now back in action. The New Catch Republic’s return to RAW brought quite a reaction from the London crowd.

We will have to see what happens next, but the tag team division certainly have quite an addition with New Catch Republic’s return to the scene.
