With it approaching two years since he last had a match, Tyler Breeze is gearing up for a return to the ring later this year.

Tyler - simply referred to as Breeze in the advertisement - has been confirmed to be lacing up his boots to compete for Prestige Wrestling on their 1 September event from Portland, Oregon. It's yet to be revealed who the former NXT Tag Team Champion will be facing in this return bout.

Also advertised for Prestige Roseland 6 are the Motor City Machine Guns, and C4 will take on Midnight Heat in a TLC offering for the promotion's Tag Team Titles.

As it stands, Tyler Breeze's most recent match came on a June 2021 edition of NXT, where he and Fandango defeated Imperium's Marcel Barthel/Ludwig Kaiser and Fabian Aichner/Giovanni Vinci. Collectively known as the Fashion Police, Prince Pretty and Dango would be released shortly after that contest.

Nowadays, Fandango can be found in IMPACT Wrestling, whilst Breeze has stayed away from active competition since being released by WWE. That said, the 35-year-old does run a wrestling school with AEW's Shawn Spears, plus Breeze has still done some loose work with WWE in the guise of Xavier Woods' Up Up Down Down content - which also included Tyler appearing alongside Woods in the tutorial elements of WWE 2K23.
