Though most professional wrestlers may prefer to “layeth the SmackDown” on their opponents, Da Party opted for a different approach.
In a music single released at midnight, the quartet of WWE NXT Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods, Ring of Honor World Champion Claudio Castagnoli, AEW‘s Adam Cole, and former WWE Superstar Tyler Breeze, laid down the bars. The respective single marks the musical debut of the foursome, as they previously connected in the professional wrestling and gaming worlds.
Each spent time in WWE, with Woods standing as the sole talent to remain with the company, but it was on Wood’s popular Up Up Down Down YouTube Channel where they truly bonded. Now, Da Party lends their voices to the music stylings of “Can’t Stop Da Party.”
Also featuring the voice of Harley Cameron, the dance track “Can’t Stop Da Party” is now available on major music streaming services, including Spotify, Apple, and Amazon Music.
Prior to the song’s official launch, Da Party shared some behind-the-scenes photographs from their recording session in the studio.
Harley Cameron, much like her co-contributors, is a professional wrestler, but she’s also made some moves in the music business as well. In October, she dropped a cover of “I Put a Spell on You” alongside WWE Superstars Shotzi and Scarlett. The trio previously released another song entitled “Indestructible” in 2021.
2021 also marked the premiere of “The IInspiration,” named after the Australian tag team of Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay. The duo used it as their theme song in IMPACT Wrestling. Lee and McKay were featured, alongside Cameron, in the corresponding music video for the song as well.
Fans of Xavier Woods’ popular UpUpDownDown YouTube channel will soon get to hear the group’s single ‘Can’t Stop Da Party.’
Da Party consists of Woods, former WWE Superstar and current trainer Tyler Breeze, Ring of Honor World Champion Claudio Castagnoli, and AEW’s Adam Cole.
On Twitter, Cole shared an image of the four members and said it is just two more days before the track’s release.
Given that the tweet was released yesterday, that means that ‘Can’t Stop Da Party’ will drop at some point tomorrow.

Harley Cameron
Harley Cameron, who has performed with Shotzi and Scarlett, will feature in the track set to be released on Monday.
All four members of Da Party have proven themselves in the ring, and while Woods can hold his own on the trombone, none are known for their singing.
In addition to the foursome, the track will feature Harley Cameron, who is a wrestler/singer.
Cameron worked with Shotzi and Scarlett last October for a cover of ‘I Put a Spell on You’ and produced the theme song for The IInspiration in Impact Wrestling.
Da Party
The quartet of Woods, Breeze, Castagnoli, and Cole were highlights of UpUpDownDown for years, but the group’s run was cut short by factors outside of their control.
Breeze was released from WWE in 2021, and Cole would choose not to re-sign with the company shortly after.
In October 2022, members of Da Party teased a reunion and in November, streamed on Twitch for their first time playing together since Cole’s departure.
On Monday, another video was posted by each member. Breeze said he was calling because it’s been a long time and “we haven’t played anything.” The rest of the group offered suggestions such as Halo, Elden Ring, and League of Legends. Breeze stopped them and told them, “we know what we’re playing.” The camera cuts to each one and they all look overjoyed with Breeze’s suggestion.
“Da Party” will finally reunite on Sunday, November 20 at 10 PM (no timezone given, but East Coast is assumed) on Twitch. The Twitch handles for @TheSweetZLive, @ClaudiosCafe, and @TheChugs.
A “Da Party” reunion was teased a year ago with many assuming it would take place on Wood’s G4 show. Sadly, G4 has shut down. Luckily for “Da Party” fans, Twitch will be the host. This will be their first time playing together since “Chuggs” (Cole) left WWE for AEW last year.
AEW star Shawn Spears recently joined Renee Paquette for an episode of The Sessions podcast.
Renee recently joined All Elite Wrestling as an interviewer. She formerly worked in WWE as Renee Young as an interviewer and a brief stint on the RAW commentary team. Spears performed in WWE under the name Tye Dillinger until he asked for his release from the company in February 2019. He signed with AEW a few months later in June.
During the interview with Renee, Shawn talked about former WWE Superstar Tyler Breeze and if he will return to wrestling again. The Chairman said that Breeze has claimed that his in-ring career is over.
He still works out, he’s still in shape. There will be times we’ll hop in the ring and have 20, 25 minutes.
We just did that a couple of weeks ago with the Gunns, just at the school to get some cardio in. He can still go, he still does everything.
But I say to him, ‘Hey man, getting ready for a second run?’ He goes ‘Nah, [I’m] retired.’ So I don’t know. That’s the true answer. But I see the excitement sometimes when he hops in.
The 41-year-old added that he hopes that his training partner isn’t done for good and that Breeze will return to the squared circle someday soon.
He’s done very well for himself, he’s a very smart guy.
But I think it still creeps in every now and then, and I only know that because of how passionate he is when he teaches too.
So if he didn’t care, he’d be a little more relaxed. It’s just a matter of timing, or the right opportunity to present itself.
I hope that he’s not done, because he still has a lot to offer. Just an incredible coach, good human being, and a benefit to this industry.
Spears recently returned to AEW on Rampage in Toronto three weeks ago. He teamed with FTR to defeat The Embassy. After the match, Shawn announced that he hasn’t been around lately due to his mother passing away.
“Prince Pretty” (Breeze), “Mr. OP” (Cesaro), and “Chugs” (Cole) would regularly play Uno together on Woods’s UpUpDownDown YouTube channel. It was dubbed “Da Party Day”. For many viewers, it was a way to cope during the pandemic.
When Cole signed with AEW, “Da Party” as fans knew it was over. They posted a heart-wrenching farewell to “Chugs”.
Last November, they teased a reunion. Fans assumed that it would be on Woods’s G4 show. Unfortunately, G4 has shut down just months after it was relaunched.
Woods released a video on his channel making the announcement of Breeze’s return yesterday. The video is a spoof of the science fiction film The Matrix.
The promo starts with The New Day member entering a milk-white room while someone is watching him. There he encounters Morpheus which is also played by Woods himself.
Morpheus offers him the choice of picking up a red or blue controller. Though before he can make his choice, Tyler Breeze makes an appearance.
The former WWE star slaps the controller out of Xavier Woods’ hands. He then announces his return to the channel next week.
Before his release, Breeze had been a featured star of the UpUpDownDown YouTube channel. He was a member of DaParty, the four-man group also consisting of Woods, Adam Cole, and Cesaro.
This won’t be his first UUDD appearance following his release in June 2021. He has not made his in-ring return yet. Word is that he is taking time off to heal from his injuries.
Adam Cole, Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze, and Cesaro are known to video game fans as Da Party. Their frequent gaming adventures were dealt a blow this year, however, after two members of the group left WWE. Tyler Breeze was released and Adam Cole signed with AEW after his WWE contract expired.
Recently, members of Da Party have been teasing a reunion. They took to social media using the hashtags #DaParty and #DaPartyForever yesterday.
Xavier Woods recently commented that a Da Party reunion could take place on his G4 show when it begins next year.
“Being linked to WWE where anything can happen, G4 would be a great place to interact with other wrestling talent from anywhere,” Woods said to Cinema Blend recently.
“I’m hoping that it is a means to create more content with more people that you normally wouldn’t see us creating content with.”
“I’m not sure the ins and outs of things like that, but I am definitely hoping that we see a little bit of [holds up Adam Cole t-shirt]…some of that. So if we can re-link up with some Da Party stuff, that’d be great.”
WWE will be producing Woods’ show on the rebooted G4 network.
Tyler Breeze had soured on wrestling a little bit after having to compete in front of no fans during the pandemic, but a major AEW debut reignited his love for the sport.
The former WWE star recently had an interview with Into The Danger Zone podcast. He mentioned how they do this for the entertainment of people and claimed that the lack of crowd had soured him.
Breeze then talked about Adam Cole’s AEW debut during the All Out PPV. He explained how hearing people go nuts for it sparked his love for wrestling again:
“What kind of sparked it again was watching [Adam] Cole debut on AEW. When he came out, dude, hearing people go nuts and people go crazy and everything else, I went, ‘Oh, that’s why we do this.’”
Tyler Breeze also talked about his release from WWE during the interview and the former NXT star revealed his immediate reaction to getting the call.
Da Party was a WWE group consisting of Xavier Woods, Adam Cole, and Cesaro alongside prince pretty. Cole has previously claimed that leaving the gaming group was the hardest part of his WWE departure.
A lot of people get startled or go blank when they receive the call from WWE about their release, but it wasn’t the case for former NXT star Tyler Breeze when he was released in June this year. The prince pretty has previously discussed how he started preparing for life after WWE the day he got hired by the promotion. He said that he wanted to have the freedom to say no to a contract extension.
He revealed his immediate reaction to the call during a recent interview on The Danger Zone podcast. Breeze claimed that he was actually surprised it didn’t happen earlier:
“I was surprised didn’t happen earlier. I was very lucky it didn’t happen earlier. So when it happened, I just went, okay, what can we do now? Now we have options of what we can do. I don’t have to do anything, but what can I do? And then I started having fun with it to where it was like, okay, I could do this, and this, and this, and this, and this and this. Great, awesome. Away we go. Next chapter.”
The former WWE star discussed how some people take it worse than he did because they either haven’t prepared for their release or they haven’t been with the promotion for a long time. Apart from this, Tyler Breeze also discussed his wrestling training. He explained how his trainer Lance Storm not only taught them how to wrestle safely but also gave them knowledge of things such as taxes and managing your money.
A massive Twitch leak has allegedly unveiled the payouts of streamers, including WWE and AEW stars.
4Chan (via VICE) has been the home of many leaks over the years and this time, an anonymous poster shared 135GB of data revealing the payouts of popular Twitch streamers. Someone uploaded the pay wrestling streamers received on the platform, which has since been deleted on Pastebin. Fear not, we’ve got the totals here.
Severalstreamersconfirmed on Twitter that their data inside the leak is accurate. Jason Koebler of VICE also says the figures appear legitimate, based on internal knowledge of what their own channel earns.
Twitch hack/leak appears to be real, we verified by testing against our own revenue numbers https://t.co/vEIqAKNprM
The following is the Twitch revenue data for the largest wrestling-related accounts for September 2019 through September 2021.
Keep in mind, these payouts are from subscriptions and bits. They do not include donations, which is a huge chunk of pay for streamers on Twitch typically.
Paige (@SarayaOfficial) – $478,224
Zelina Vega (@theatrinidad) – $341,748
Adam Cole (@TheCHUGS) – $318,080
Impact Wrestling (@impactwrestling) – $69,140
Tyler Breeze (@thesweetzlive) – $43,755
Evil Uno (@eviluno) – $35,742
Colt Cabana (@coltcabana) – $32,479
Xavier Woods (@AustinCreed) – $25,431
As you can tell, there’s a substantial amount of money to be made on Twitch for these wrestlers. WWE has a policy in place that prevents its talent from streaming on Twitch. Paige is an exception as the rule isn’t a part of her deal and she isn’t an active wrestler.
Zelina Vega had been released by WWE over the issue of not being able to stream. She eventually ended up signing with the company again. Vega’s husband, Malakai Black, had been taking over the channel but there hasn’t been a new stream for the past month.
WWE made a strong push to re-sign Adam Cole before he decided to jump ship to AEW. Adam Cole’s wish to keep his independent Twitch channel was said to be a non-negotiable stipulation during those negotiations.
The number of releases coming from WWE this year has been fast, thick, and ruthless. One such star to find himself out of work is former NXT Tag-Team champion, Tyler Breeze. He and his partner Fandango were released as part of the NXT cull in June this year.
Talking on a recent episode of Insight with Chris van Vliet, Tyler Breeze spoke about how he was preparing to be fired from the very minute he signed his developmental contract with WWE.
This was not because he knew of their ruthlessness with getting rid of talent, but simply because he knew life was a lot longer than an in-ring career.
“I was preparing to get fired the day I got hired,” Tyler Breeze said. “There is a lot of life to live after wrestling. I immediately started to make a plan, got ready. I remember looking at contracts. When I got my first contract, you have a 3- or 5-year developmental contract. But then I signed my main roster contract. I went ‘okay I’ve got 3 years. Realistically in a perfect world, I will last 3 years. I don’t want to have to sign it. I would like to, but if I don’t want to, I want the freedom to say no.’”
Tyler Breeze Understands there is More to Life than Wrestling
Wrestling is not a career to begin without love. Nobody is going to have a successful career if they do not love the thrill of taking bumps and getting in the ring night after night. However, there is a long time to go once most peoples’ in-ring careers have come to an end. Some are wrestling through and through and continue through into old age.
Tyler Breeze didn’t ever want to be in a position where he had to wrestle just because people were throwing money at him.
At that moment in time, I was not happy. All they said was ‘I’m sorry, we can give you more money.’ I said ‘I’ve been really smart with my money. I don’t need more money. That was when I had the conversation to go back to NXT. But I was ready to leave right then. I had accomplished everything I had wanted to achieve of having that goal of the freedom to not sign that contract.”
While he is still only just 33 and has a lot of gas left in the tank, Tyler Breeze is clearly a man with a sensible head on his shoulders, and a vision of where he wants to go. It will be another month before we can see Breeze back in the ring. While nothing has been said yet about his future destination, fans of Prince Pretty will be hoping to see him sign somewhere and maybe get the push he deserved in WWE.
Tyler Breeze was something of an underground hero during his time with both NXT and WWE. He never received the push that many fans wanted him to get. Yet, his crazy antics won their appreciation. There was no reason for the Fashion Police angle to get over, except for the way Breeze and Fandango sold it.
“Dolph Ziggler gave me the perfect thing when I started working with him. He says ‘look, man. It’s very clear who the guy is. If it’s not you, chances are it will never be you. They won’t hand you the ball, but you will work with those guys. Even when you steal the ball from those guys, they still won’t give it to you. But you will always be used because they know they can rely on you.’” Tyler Breeze explained.
Tyler Breeze Knew There Were Other Ways to Succeed
There is no denying that Tyler Breeze is a talented wrestler. He was chosen to be the opponent for Jushin Thunder Ligers only match in WWE. He is a former FCW heavyweight champion, FCW tag champion – alongside Roman Reigns – and a former NXT Tag Team Champion. However, he knew he was never going to be ‘the guy!’.
However, thanks to further advice from Dolph Ziggler, Breeze realized there was another way to get over. By connecting with the fans, by working and being reliable.
“You get this underground following which Dolph did, which I did. The people know that they want something to happen, and it just won’t happen. It builds this cult following for you that translates into everything you do. I love being in that category. I think it’s really cool that people get behind you because the machine never did.” Tyler Breeze and Fandango shared a special bond with the WWE universe.
Tyler Breeze and his tag team partner were both released from their WWE contracts on June 21st. As of the time of writing, there is no word on where the pair will head next.
Matt Clemente (FKA Tyler Breeze) does not believe the time is right for him to sign with AEW. The 33-year-old was released by WWE in June and is fine with taking a little time away from wrestling.
“If I go (to AEW), I don’t know if it would make a massive impact,” Breeze said (transcriptions via WrestlingNewsCO). “Now it’s kind of the norm. People are going over there, and there might be some big names going over there. Nobody knows what is happening, but I don’t think now is the right time for me to go there.”
Breeze continued to say that he’s not currently taking bookings but is getting in a lot of work at his wrestling school. Along with Shawn Spears, Breeze runs Flatbacks Wrestling school in Florida.
“I have wrestled for 14 years straight. I’m Ok with taking a little bit of a break. My body likes it, and I am getting enough wrestling at the school to keep my body good. I’m not currently taking any bookings.
Breeze also mentioned that he’s been smart with his money. When he got the call that he was released, it was not a long conversation and he was not worried about where his next pay cheque would come from.
“Luckily, I prepared and got ready for this, and when it happened, it was literally the shortest conversation of all time. ‘Bad news. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to let you go.’ ‘Ok, cool.’ ‘Do you have any questions?’ ‘No, not really. Thanks, man.’ I immediately started streaming again. I fired up everything and went into hustle mode. I’m ok with it all.”
Tyler Breeze (@MmmGorgeous) talked to me about having the honor of being the only person to work a match with Jushin “Thunder” Liger in WWE
Tyler Breeze was one of several names released from WWE last week. The former NXT tag-team champion had been with the company for 11 years. During a streaming session on Twitch over the weekend, Breeze spoke about his release and time with the company.
“I was with the company for eleven years,” Breeze said. “An eleven year run in the biggest wrestling company in the world is unheard of, it’s a huge thing. Most people are there for three or four years. The fact that I was there for 11, fantastic, more than I could ask for.”
In terms of what comes next for the 33-year-old, that is not yet clear. Breeze said he has a lot still to consider.
“I’ll be streaming and we have a lot of stuff to figure out,” he continued. “A lot of stuff is still in the works. Yes, I’m setting up my Cameo again, I’m just waiting for them to approve it. There’s a lot of stuff in the air that we’re slowly figuring out. You guys will kinda know as I know. We’re trying to figure out a lot of stuff.”
Breeze also sounded noncommittal over continuing his wrestling career following his release from WWE. He stated that he has not yet made up his mind if he’ll continue.
“Will I continue my wrestling career? I don’t know, we’ll have to see,” Breeze said. “I haven’t decided yet.”
Breeze also confirmed that he has a 90-day no-compete clause with WWE.
WWE Superstar Xavier Woods took to Instagram to react to the release of his friend and UpUpDownDown co-host, Tyler Breeze. It was confirmed yesterday that Breeze would no longer be working for the company, and his tag team partner Fandango was also one of the names let go in yet another round of WWE releases.
Here’s the full comments from Woods regarding his friend being released from the company:
“When I met @mmmgorgeous we were in FCW. We were cool but ended up both being injured once and we would keep each other from going insane by waking up and playing borderlands 2 online together. Through this video game we realized that we were the ying to the others yang. Started talking and hanging out more and realized I was really charismatic but not the best wrestler and he was an amazing wrestler but not the most charismatic. We fit together like puzzle pieces and began learning from each other. Some coaches told me quite a few times to “watch who I hang out with”, “distance yourself from that guy”, “why would you wanna tag with him? He’s not going to help your career”.
Xavier Woods on Tyler Breeze
Some even tried lying in an attempt to put us against each other. We never understood it but by never letting anyone ever get to us he taught me how to be better in the ring and I helped him bring out his natural charisma. Since then every step my @wwe career Matt has literally always been there right with me no matter what. He pushes me to get better and to believe in myself when I don’t. I’m not sure where I’d be in life if he wasn’t in mine. Today sucks. It really sucks. But I’m happy because now my incredibly talented friend gets to whatever he wants to do and I’m so happy that he has that freedom. Love you man!”
It is not currently known if Tyler Breeze will remain with UpUpDownDown or if Woods is alluding to a new video game venture in his statement. Jessamyn Duke was released from WWE as a contracted Superstar but remained with the YouTube channel.
Tyler Breeze is one of a few main roster Superstars to have returned to WWE’s black-and-gold brand, NXT. He joined other names such as his Breezango partner Fandango and former WWE Universal Champion Finn Balor in returning. In an interview with The Chris Van Vliet Show, Breeze discussed his journey back to NXT.
Tyler Breeze Returns To NXT
“I wasn’t in a very good place in May, and that’s just when it came to a head, and when I kind of dropped a bomb on everything, where I just said, I gotta change my life because I am not happy, you know what I mean, and nobody can change it but you kind of thing.”
Breeze continued, “So I said, alright, I gotta change my job, I gotta change my life, I gotta change everything that’s going on. It didn’t even start as a ‘Hey, send me back to NXT, I’m not happy,’ whatever. It wasn’t that at all. It was like, ‘Look, I haven’t been doing anything. I’m not enjoying what I’m doing.'”
He explained how, at that point, it didn’t appear as though his injured partner Fandango would be returning any time soon. Breeze argued that if they didn’t need him, WWE should allow him to “go do something else and either, one, prove that you do need me or that you want me, or I’ll go find something else to do because I’m just not enjoying what I’m doing.'”
According to Tyler Breeze, he was told by WWE that they didn’t want to let him go. So he was given the option to return to NXT. It was a decision he has previously described as “one of the easiest choices of my life.”
The January 10 episode of 205 Live which emanated from Evansville, Indiana saw WWE NXT Superstar Tyler Breeze make his debut for the purple brand. He went against Tony Nese in a singles match in a winning effort in the main event of the night.
His partner Fandango of Breezango was not with him, as he is injured and underwent a Tommy John surgery on his elbow in December.
This was the official debut on the cruiserweight brand for Breeze. He has made an appearance on 205 Live before, back in September of 2017. It wasn’t for an in-ring match though, Breeze was only part of a segment.
But now with his official debut made for 205 Live, the question remains: will Tyler Breeze work both NXT and 205 Live together? WWE has made no announcements regarding this and Breeze is listed as an NXT Superstar on the roster page on WWE’s website.
In his first match on 205 Live, Breeze started off in a lockup with Nese, before getting knocked to the mat. Breeze also applied a Boston Crab in the match, before taking the fight outside.
After a bit of a back and forth and both men trying to pin each other, Breeze picked up the win with a rollup pin after getting Nese with a crossbody.
Below is a video and highlights from Tyler Breeze’s match on 205 Live:
Breezango made their successful television return to the squared circle last week during an episode of NXT. The pair successfully defeated the team of Steve Cutler and Wesley Black from The Forgotten Sons.
Fandango and Tyler Breeze now call the black-and-gold brand their home after time on WWE’s main roster. With Fandango having returned from surgery and reunited with Breeze, the duo discussed what it’s been like for them since joining NXT.
Fandango explained how the two have been teaming for a few weeks at NXT Live Events before their matchup against The Forgotten Sons, which took place before NXT TakeOver: Toronto.
“Being a singles competitor is one thing, you got your timing down, your cardio down,” Fandango said. “But the timing of a tag team match is totally different. Not only do you have to be in sync with your opponents, but you got another guy in your corner that you gotta work with.”
Tyler Breeze added, “It’s fun kind of finding the groove again, especially after 13 months. It was hard for me. I mean all of a sudden, we’re together for what, a couple of years, take him [Fandango] out of there, I’m kind of floating on my own, trying to figure out what I’m doing again.”
The team confessed they don’t think their rivalry with The Forgotten Sons is over, anticipating that their victory may just be the start of a long-running feud between the teams.
Tyler Breeze says his decision to leave the WWE main roster and return to NXT was an easy one. Triple H recently confirmed to media that he considers Breeze to be with NXT full-time now. Breeze dropped a North American title match to Velveteen Dream at TakeOver XXVI.
While speaking with WWE.com, Breeze said his decision to return to NXT was an easy one to make.
“One of the easiest choices of my life. I was built here. I was born here,” Breeze said. “Anytime I’ve ever questioned where I’m going, I head back home to NXT to get clarity. I head back home to recharge and reassess. And every single time it’s paid off. I trust myself. I trust my skill, I trust my passion, I trust NXT.”
Breeze was also asked about what he feels will be different now in comparison to his first run in NXT.
“The difference is maturity and priorities,” he answered. “When I was here before, I was a pillar helping to build NXT, and I was involved in every first imaginable. I built this brand into an empire … my empire, until I was plucked from my empire and unable to reap the benefits of my hard work. This time I’m not building anything. I’m not helping anything. I’m here for myself, plain and simple.”
In terms of who he wants to face in NXT, Breeze surprisingly said he’s not too concerned about his future opponents.
“Honestly, I don’t care who is in NXT. I’ve been here before, and it’s always been the same story. We glorify everyone else in NXT, except for Tyler Breeze. The new flavors of the month come and go, and we’re told they are the next best thing. Why ignore the staple? Put me in there with anyone you want. I don’t care, because you’re only going to be focusing on me.”
Tyler Breeze will challenge Velveteen Dream for the NXT North American title on Saturday. Today, Triple H confirmed that Breeze is once again a full-time member of the NXT roster.
Breeze sent the below message to his former partner Fandango earlier today. The video features highlights of Breeze and Fandango teaming together:
Fandango has been out of action for 11 months after suffering a torn left labrum. His original timeline for return was 6 months and he reported to the WWE PC in December. It’s not clear what has led to Fandango’s extended absence.
Breeze recently joked with his former trainer, Lance Storm, about his position on the main roster in WWE.
Breeze has never won a title in NXT or the WWE main roster. He is a former Florida Championship Wrestling champion and co-held the FCW tag titles along with Roman Reigns.
In 2011, Reigns was wrestling under the name Leakee and Breeze was wrestling as Mike Dalton. They defeated the team of Corey Graves and Jake Carter (Big Van Vader’s son) for the belts. Dalton and Leakee (Breeze and Reigns) would drop the belts to the team of Juice Robinson and Jason Jordan just one month later.
Former WWE Superstar, Lance Storm, recently took to Twitter with an observation on the WWE’s website roster lineup.
He pointed out how out of date the website is by highlighting the fact that David Otunga is still listed as an active member of the RAW roster, saying “Seriously David Otunga is part of the RAW roster? When was the last time he wrestled?”
Storm would also lambast the WWE website’s lack of scale within their roster pages. He shared images of smaller WWE Superstars dwarfing their larger peers, such as Sarah Logan towering over Samoa Joe, or Braun Strowman looking much smaller next to Booker T and Bray Wyatt. Jeff Hardy, in particular, is apparently minuscule compared to Luke Harper and Jinder Mahal.
Tyler Breeze recently returned to action for WWE’s black-and-gold brand, NXT. He is currently feuding with the NXT North American Champion, The Velveteen Dream. They are scheduled to face off for the championship this weekend at NXT TakeOver XXV. The show takes place from the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Over the last few months, we have seen a number of WWE Stars expressing their frustration with their position in the company and Tyler Breeze is the latest star to join this list.
Breeze recently took on his Twitter account and made a obscure tweet, saying that “Eventually you say No Thank you I’m worth more….”
This tweet started a conversation about his WWE career and
after it became a topic of discussion people started interacting with the
former NXT Star on the matter.
Naomi and Luke Harper are two of the stars who have recently
commented on being underutilized by the company through their Twitter accounts
as well.
A fan tagged both of them in a tweet asking if they are starting an underutilized revolution and Breeze jumped into this conversation saying that he has been underutilized for four years.
A WWE referee also took note of these tweets and asked Tyler if he’s having a bad day. Replying to it, the Fashion Police member said that it’s no more than usual. You can check out the whole twitter exchange below:
All the props in the world to Jinder. PS. This is the perfect example of someone (you) who has no clue how the inner workings are. https://t.co/WMqDOkh6Pt
Tyler Breeze has been a part of the main roster since 2015 but he has never been used in any significant storyline. It’d be interesting to see if WWE responds to these tweets from the Raw Star.
A main roster member made a surprise appearance at the NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University this Wednesday night.
Ricochet was set to defend his NXT North American Championship that night as it was announced that he would be challenged by a mystery opponent on the show.
Tyler Breeze returned to NXT and took on Ricochet in a title match in a losing effort.
Breeze has also made some appearances on NXT house shows before but this is the first time that he has appeared on NXT television in three years.
Breeze joined WWE’s developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) where he performed under the ring name Mike Dalton.
He would later work in NXT after the rebranding of FCW, and would début his heel selfie-taking pretty boy persona under the Tyler Breeze name. He made his main roster début in October of 2015.
Breeze’s partner Fandango of “Breezango” is injured and that has left Breeze out of the tag team division.
Currently directionless on the main roster, Tyler Breeze could have a fresh start once again on NXT as a singles wrestler.
– As seen this past Wednesday on the WWE Network, Mia Yim sent Kaitlyn packing from the Mae Young Classic by beating the former Divas Champion in a Second-Round Match. Yim scored the victory by forcing Kaitlyn to submit to the kneebar.
Following the match, Kaitlyn — real name Celeste Bonin — took to Instagram to reflect on her WWE comeback.
“My match with @miayimofficial was one of my favorite of all time. The match itself was so dope and Mia is such a powerful woman in so many ways,” Kaitlyn wrote.
“But For me, it was exceptionally meaningful to come back after so many years and to leave it all out there in the ring and offer my contribution to the evolution of women’s wrestling. The evolution of the division is parallel to my evolution as a person and as a competitor/performer. Man I love wrestling. Congrats to @miayimofficial. She deserves it. Much respect to her.”

– Although Apollo Crews and Titus O’Neil have not appeared together on television since the night after SummerSlam, they’re still a unit.
Crews and O’Neil teamed up for the first time in four weeks at last night’s WWE live event in Syracuse, New York. Titus Worldwide teamed with Tyler Breeze to beat The Ascension and Mike Kanellis in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.
This was also O’Neil’s first match since September 15 (teaming with Crews at a live event), and Crews’ first since September 24 (beating Breeze in a match taped for WWE Main Event). Crews and O’Neil have not wrestled together on television since losing to AOP on Raw on August 20. It was also their last appearance on Raw.
It was a good tune-up match before Rousey challenges Bliss for the RAW Women’s Title at SummerSlam later this month. The pay-per-view (PPV) goes down from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on August 19th.
Shortly after her victory over Fox, Rousey took to Instagram and issued a stern warning to her SummerSlam opponent, Bliss. Here’s what she had to say:
“You should dread every second of experience I get in that ring.
Consider what you saw last night merciful compared to what’s coming to you August 19th”
Xavier Woods Invites Tyler Breeze To Join The New Day
Last night was pretty embarrassing for Tyler Breeze. One-half of Breezango, Fandango, has been sidelined for the next several months with an injury. This leaves Breeze to fend for himself on RAW as a singles talent.
During last night’s episode of RAW, Breeze had a segment with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns backstage. Breeze was denied a fist bump by the former Shield members:
SmackDown Live star and New Day member Xavier Woods offered a response on Twitter. He noted that Breeze could come over to SmackDown Live and join The New Day until Fandango is ready to return:
It's ok Breezy, come on over to #SmackdownLive and you can be in The New Day till Dango heals up 😁 we will appreciate you over on blue! https://t.co/LMzfJwP0IE
