Tyler Breeze has clarified that he is no longer under arrangement with WWE while openly expressing interest in potentially joining AEW.
Breeze was parted ways with from his WWE talent terms in June 2021, although his relationship with the company continued in the years that followed. Formerly known as Xavier Woods in WWE, he worked in a coaching capacity and remained involved with UpUpDownDown alongside Austin Creed.
The erstwhile NXT Two-person unit Titleholder in a flash corrected the statement, after a fan recently put forth on social media that Breeze was still with WWE. “No he’s not,” Breeze replied.
Breeze then clarified that he had signed another agreement with WWE following his release as an active talent, but that deal has since expired. “I was under a deal with WWE,” Breeze wrote, while “Not anymore.”
With Breeze confirming that he is now free from his WWE agreement, another fan asked whether he could potentially become “All Elite.”
Breeze made it clear that joining AEW is something he would be interested in. “Would love to be a part of AEW,” Breeze reacted.
Despite his original WWE release in 2021, Breeze made a surprise in-ring resurgence for the company at NXT Homecoming in September 2025, challenging Ethan Page for the NXT North American Gold.
Breeze has on top of that continued competing outside WWE in recent years while operating the Flatbacks Wrestling School alongside Shawn Spears.
There is currently no indication that Breeze is in negotiations with AEW. With his WWE deal now officially over, the ex NXT star has publicly opened the door to potentially joining the promotion.
