Moustache Mountain was a British professional wrestling tag team consisting of Trent Seven and Tyler Bate, Bate is currently signed to WWE where he performs on the Raw brand and Seven worked for WWE until his release in August 2022. They are one-time NXT UK Tag Team Champions and NXT Tag Team Champions. Created in 2015, they previously worked for other promotions, most notably Chikara and Progress Wrestling. They are also known as part of the three-men stable British Strong Style together with Pete Dunne, also in WWE.
The team debuted on 6 February 2015 in the Chikara promotion. Both Seven and Bate signed with WWE in late 2016 to be a part of the first United Kingdom Championship Tournament, which was won by Bate who became the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion. Both wrestlers then joined the NXT brand as singles wrestler, while continuing to team up outside WWE; after Bate lost the title to Dunne in 2017, Moustache Mountain made their debut in WWE the following year, and defeated The Undisputed Era at the NXT U.K. Championship event to win the NXT Tag Team Championship, although they lost it back to The Undisputed Era two days later on NXT. After signing a full-time contract with WWE, the two, together with Dunne, became central figures of NXT UK after its premiere in 2018, unsuccessfully trying to become the inaugural NXT UK Tag Team Champions at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool; they would eventually win the titles on 9 December 2021, making them the first individuals to win both the NXT and NXT UK Tag Team Championships.
