10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Tyler Breeze
8. He Was Known As Mike Dalton When He Started In FCW/NXT
Like a lot of wrestlers in WWE, it took a while for Breeze to find the right character. The name that he first used on FCW TV (before it had morphed into NXT) was Mike Dalton. The first match of his that aired was on FCW TV on July 17, 2011 where he lost a match to Rusev, who was known as Alexander Rusev at the time. He has always been pretty good in the ring, so it was no surprise that he won the FCW Title in February 2012. He ended up holding it for onky three weeks before dropping it back to the former champion Leo Kruger, who most fans now know as Adam Rose. When Breeze reached a crossroads in his career, he thought about continuing to use the Mike Dalton name, but instead he chose to change things up in 2013. It's fair to say that he made the right choice.
