Last year, Tyler Breeze returned to
NXT and joined his old partner Fandango as part of the Breezango tag-team. It felt like this homecoming was the shot in the arm the talented Superstar needed, as he'd been floundering s a singles competitor on the main roster ever since Fandango was taken out of action with a bad shoulder injury.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Prince Pretty discussed his return to the black and gold brand, and revealed that he was thinking about leaving the company prior to his move.
“I was like, ‘I don’t think I wanna wrestle anymore. Like, I don’t think I want to.’ I kinda had a conversation like, ‘If you don’t need me I’m good to go. I don’t need to be here.’ It kinda got turned into, ‘Okay, we don’t really wanna see you go so let’s make this work. I mean, that’s when I made the transition down to NXT and it kinda started to reinvigorate me a little bit.
I went to a couple of schools around Orlando to kinda try and get the juices flowing again because I was getting really disheartened. “I started to realize that wrestling wasn’t the problem, wrestling’s awesome. It’s just like when you’re in a certain spot and when you get in a certain mindset it’s hard to kick out of that and I was just in that mindset and I was just getting angry and bitter and I realized that wrestling’s not the problem.”
