In a recent exchange with an X (formerly Twitter) user, Tyler Breeze noted that he was never going back to his old ring name, Mike Dalton. He pointed out that the company owned the right to that name. When asked what name he would go by, the veteran stated that he would go by the name “Breeze,” dropping “Tyler” from his current on-screen name.

“Breeze works,” he wrote.

While he continued to compete on the independent scene, Tyler Breeze wrestled just one match during his most recent run with WWE. He challenged Ethan Page for the NXT North American Championship at NXT Homecoming in September 2025. Unfortunately, he lost the bout to the Canadian star.

Tyler Breeze opened up about his WWE exit

Tyler Breeze spoke about his departure from the global juggernaut while speaking on The Certified Mark Show.

The veteran noted that his contract with the company ended at the start of August. Tyler pointed out that he was with the promotion for 16 years and had a “really cool deal.”

“One hundred percent. I’ve said it a bunch. This is the crazy part—my contract technically ended at the start of August. I was with WWE for 16 years, so I had a really cool deal. The deal that just ended in August, I was able to do WWE stuff, I was able to do independents, I was able to kind of do third-party stuff. I was able to do all this stuff. It was a one-of-a-kind deal that was never seen before and will never be seen again. I had great people in great positions who got that deal for me. Again, it’ll never be done again,” Breeze said.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Tyler Breeze. It will be interesting to see if he makes his way back to WWE again.
