Thanks to a week in March when NXT and Ring of Honor were running shows in Philadelphia at about the same time, NJPW talent and wrestling legend Jushin "Thunder" Liger was put into contact with WWE through Finn Balor, Matt Bloom, and William Regal. This matchup with he and Tyler Breeze is the result of that lucky bit of timing.

There's no indication that this is anything other than a one time appearance by Liger, so there's no reason whatsoever for him to go over in Brooklyn. And while Liger doesn't know much about Breeze going into this one, he has respect for him due to his training by Lance Storm. In a translation from an interview from Enuhito.com, Liger said, "Wow, he must be really good. He must learn basic of wrestling from Lance."

Tyler Breeze has been a bedrock of NXT for a while. His character is awesome and he wrestles great matches with anybody he's put in the ring with. This will be a big win for Prince Pretty as he continues to lay the foundation of what is sure to be a lengthy and successful career.
