Tyler Breeze Reveals He Was To Be Cut From ESPN’s E:60, How Triple H Saved Him From Being Fired, Fashion Files

Tyler Breeze was a recent guest on the E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness podcast and he spoke openly about how he was almost fired from WWE several times, below are some highlights.

Almost being cut from ESPN’s E:60:

“I was picked on it and it was revealed to me after from Triple H that I was supposed to be the guy who doesn’t make it.” Breeze admitted, “I was supposed to be like, ‘hey, let’s follow you around for ESPN and at the end, you’re getting fired.’ And, of course, I had no clue, so I’m thinking, ‘oh, that’s awesome – this ESPN thing is going to be really cool.’”

How Triple H saved him from being fired:

“We end up having the first NXT pilot at Full Sail [University] to test out and see if Full Sail would work for the venue for NXT.” Breeze remembered, “and I ended up having a match with one of the guys in Ascension. He was just basically going to kill me, but he was my friend so he goes, ‘no, let’s have a match.’ So we have this match and Triple H happened to be there and he just kind of looked over at Dusty [Rhodes] and he goes, ‘who’s this guy? Like, why have I never seen anything of his?’ And, all-of-a-sudden, I got saved again. I just kind of keep getting saved along the way. All-of-a-sudden, Dusty says Hunter liked what he saw and I’m off the list again.”

Fashion Files:

“A lot of the reason why it was a success and that it became a thing was because of social media.” Breeze recalled, “I guess we did one episode and it was kind of supposed to end after that, but I guess it was the number one trending thing on SmackDown or something like that. And even Vince, he was like, ‘I don’t get it, but the people like it, so keep doing it.’ And it was all-of-a-sudden eight months later because of social media.”
