10 Things You Didn't Know About Roman Reigns
6. He Held The FCW Tag Team Titles With Tyler Breeze
Reigns may have come up short in his quest to capture the FCW Heavyweight Championship, but he soon found gold of a different sort. On June 15, 2012, "Leakee" and Mike Dalton teamed up to win the FCW Florida Tag Team Titles from current NXT commentator Corey Graves and Jake Carter, son of the legendary Big Van Vader.
If Mike Dalton looks familiar, that's because the Lance Storm-trained British Columbia native currently competes on WWE's main roster as Tyler Breeze. Dalton had a rather generic gimmick as an undercard good guy, and when FCW became NXT, he was largely used as an enhancement talent. In 2013, he was informed that if he couldn't come up with a new and exciting character, he would be released. Dalton rose to the challenge, creating the "Tyler Breeze" persona (with a suggestion from Triple H that he incorporate selfies into his entrance).
While Breeze's main roster career in WWE hasn't gone as spectacularly as Reigns's has - don't expect to see them teaming or feuding any time soon - their past alliance is an interesting bit of trivia.
