Former WWE Superstar Backstage at AEW Worlds End, Sparking Speculation

The AEW Worlds End pay-per-view on December 29, 2024, drew attention for more than just its in-ring action as former WWE star Tyler Breeze was seen backstage, alongside other familiar names like AJ Francis and Baron Corbin.

According to reports, Tyler Breeze attended the AEW event not as a competitor but to visit friends. Breeze, who left WWE in 2021, has had a sporadic wrestling career since his departure, wrestling approximately 20 matches between July 2023 and September 2024. Sources close to Breeze suggest he’s thriving outside the wrestling business and only steps into the ring when it aligns with his interests and priorities.

Backstage Environment at Worlds End

Breeze, known for his charisma and technical wrestling prowess, appeared at AEW Worlds End primarily to reconnect with old colleagues and soak in the event’s atmosphere. His presence backstage led to fan speculation about a potential AEW debut or return to professional wrestling full-time.

However, sources noted that Breeze’s visit was likely informal, with no immediate plans for him to join AEW’s roster.

Fan Reactions and Future Prospects

Fans took to social media to express excitement about seeing Breeze back in a wrestling environment. Many highlighted his WWE tenure, particularly his partnership with Fandango as part of the comedic duo Breezango.

Despite the intrigue, it remains unclear if Breeze plans to reignite his in-ring career or if he will continue to enjoy life outside of wrestling, competing selectively. His appearance at AEW events, even as a visitor, signals his enduring connection to the wrestling community.

AEW’s Open Doors for Former WWE Stars

AEW’s openness to hosting former WWE talent backstage continues to fuel rumors and fan speculation. Whether Tyler Breeze’s attendance at Worlds End leads to a bigger role or simply marks a friendly visit, his legacy and potential return remain topics of interest.
