10 WWE Stars Who Are Unhappy Right Now

4. Tyler Breeze

The main event in NXT, Main Event on the main roster, Tyler Breeze's 2015 debut foreshadowed the events to come. Unlike virtually everybody, Vince McMahon didn't fancy the narcissistic pretty boy, and dumped him with a 1-2 record in his introductory feud against Dolph Ziggler.

A beloved cult figure as part of Breezango, even this chemistry-laden and very fun Zoolander riff reduced Breeze's talents. Working super matches in the early TakeOver era, Breeze barely worked on WWE TV proper. Limited to goofy comedy affairs that failed to transpose the genuinely witty Fashion Files skits, the summer 2018 injury suffered by his partner accelerated Breeze's vanishing act.

His Cagematch listing reads like the work of a bot coded by satire; across March 11 and 25, he went 50/50 with EC3 on Main Event. Nobody cared, and nothing mattered. Breeze lashed out on Twitter over the weekend, tweeting, not-so-cryptically, "Eventually you say No thank you I'm worth more...."

It's a precarious business, the social media complaint. One misguided emoji will ruin you.

One misguided emoji will bury you from under-utilised star to whining jobber, and the smirking emoji Breeze used to cap off "Been underutilized or whatever you wanna call it for 4 years" drew more SpongeCody Squarepants memes than Stan handjobs.

Breeze was a top, top performer in 2015 - but as the months and years pass by, without significant development, Breeze might bury himself here under the Dolph Ziggler Principle.
