Tyler Breeze Under WWE Deal For UpUpDownDown, AEW Restrictions Included
Tyler Breeze hadn’t wrestled in over two years since his WWE release, but he’s still getting a check.
Fightful Select has learned that Tyler Breeze has been under a deal with WWE specifically tied to the UpUpDownDown brand for quite some time. We have not learned if the deal has any wrestling provisions or restrictions associated with it, outside of a WWE source saying that it does prevent him from appearing on AEW programming. There were some reports claiming that he was a full-time WWE PC coach, but we’ve confirmed he fills in.
Breeze returned to the ring over the past week. Those we spoke to put over Breeze’s investments outside of the ring, saying that he was several steps ahead of his wrestling career as far as preparing himself for life outside it. Specifically, he helps run Flatbacks to train wrestlers, and made several smart real estate investments.
