Former NXT Superstar Returns To The Brand, Challenges Ricochet

The developmental division may have gotten a bit more pretty. On this past week’s episode of NXT, Tyler Breeze made his return to the brand, and challenged Ricochet for the North American Championship.

You can see a clip of that match below:

Ricochet vs. Tyler Breeze - NXT North American Championship Match: WWE NXT, Dec. 12, 2018

From WWE.com:

Breeze’s shocking return to the black-and-gold fortress came after Ricochet called on NXT management to find a challenger for his NXT North American crown. Adding value to Regal’s rolodex, Breeze proved to be the competition Ricochet was waiting for. Minutes into the match, Prince Pretty wrapped The One and Only with a pinning predicament that fluidly turned into a knee-bending leglock. From there, as “Breeze is gorgeous” chants filled Full Sail Live, it was clear the gritty effort by Breeze would push Ricochet to his limits, forcing the latter to fire on all cylinders.

Late in the contest, Ricochet’s attempted springboard moonsault was met by a superkick from Breeze, leaving him room to pull off an upset. When The Sultan of Selfies tried to go for a Beauty Shot, however, The One and Only wrenched him midair and applied a fireman’s carry into a Michinoku Driver to earn the win. After the bout, both men stood in the middle of the ring and shook hands, while the NXT Universe showered them with praise.

Breeze has been used sporadically throughout 2018, but hasn’t been on WWE programming much, since his partner Fandango has been out due to injury.

Editor’s Opinion:

I like this a lot. It’s obvious that there isn’t a spot for Prince Pretty on the main roster right now, so why not have him compete in NXT? He is a fan favorite there, and his ability to put on great matches will be showcased with the amazing talent that is there.
