Former WWE Talent Open To Full-Time Return

Never say never in professional wrestling, with very few pro-wrestlers able to resist returning to the squared circle, no matter how long they’ve been retired from in-ring competition.

One name who has contemplated a full-time return is that of Tyler Breeze, with the former WWE NXT stand-out saying the following on Developmentally Speaking:

“Oh yeah, 100%. Yeah, I don’t see why not. It’s one of those things where it’s kind of crazy to think about. I’m only 36. I guess because I was hired when I was 23 and I started wrestling when I was 19, and it feels like forever, and it feels like I should be 50 or 60, but I am 36, so I still got some years. I’m not some ancient dude. Especially too, when I start wrestling around, when I wrestle at the schools, I do a couple of independents here and there, I’m still excited for wrestling. I’m still excited to do what we do.

“I haven’t lost the passion for it. I still like seeing the crowd be excited or do what you want them to do. Even when I see them, and they go, ‘Man, I love the stuff that you do on UpUpDownDown,’ or, ‘I remember this match,’ it’s still in me. So if the right opportunity came around, if something worked, then yeah, man. I got a great relationship with WWE and I got a great relationship with Hunter and everybody else. So luckily I’ve kept these bridges very well-built, so yeah, man, I’m open to whatever. It’s all good," Breeze said.

A former NXT Tag Team Champion, Breeze took a hiatus from in-ring competition in 2021, returning to the ring for a handful of independent dates in 2023. Breeze is believed to be under some form of WWE contract due to his work on the UpUpDownDown YouTube series.
