A Pandemic-Era WWE Release Is Technically Under Contract With The Company

Tyler Breeze was let go by WWE due to budget cuts in 2021. 

He has publicly spoken about how he had been preparing ever since he first signed with WWE in 2010 because there was a period of time when he felt like he could be gone every six months.

Breeze will work his first match back at the Prestige Wrestling Roseland 6 show on September 1st in Portland, Oregon.

According to Fightful Select, Breeze is still getting a check from WWE as he’s “been under a deal with WWE specifically tied to the UpUpDownDown brand for quite some time.”

The report added, “We have not learned if the deal has any wrestling provisions or restrictions associated with it, outside of a WWE source saying that it does prevent him from appearing on AEW programming.”
