** He returned again, to a similarly explosive pop, on the 23 May 2019 episode to pick a fight with the new North American champion, Wrestling/TheVelveteenDream, which was put onto the card for the upcoming NXT [=TakeOver:=] XXV. Breeze seems to be WWE's test case for whether they can get results from moving former NXT stars who've been called up to the main roster only to lose their momentum back ''down'' to NXT again to rebuild themselves, and judging from how well he's being received so far the experiment seems to be successful, potentially further legitimising NXT as a genuine "third brand" alternative to RAW and [=SmackDown=].

* HesBack: On the 12 December 2018 episode of NXT, Breeze made a sudden and unexpected[[note]]well, except for the fact that it had already been spoiled by overexcited audience members at the taping, since NXT isn't live[[/note]] return to the promotion to be the "mystery challenger" who would take up North American Champion Wrestling/{{Ricochet}}'s open challenge in the main event. Full Sail University greeted him like the prodigal son returned, and even though he didn't win, the ensuing match was a stunning reminder of how great Breeze had been during his NXT run.

Clement was trained by the revered Canadian superstar Wrestling/LanceStorm and first made a name for himself in the Canadian ECCW promotion. He joined WWE in 2010 and was given the ring name Mike Dalton. As Dalton, Clement won the FCW championship from [[Wrestling/AdamRose Leo Kruger]], but unfortunately dropped it back to him a month later. When FCW became Wrestling/{{WWENXT}}, Dalton's momentum cooled, as the fans typically aren't receptive to homegrown wrestlers without gimmicks. Thus, Mike Dalton became Tyler Breeze, a vain male model. After [[Wrestling/KevinSteen Kevin Owens]] left NXT to go to the main roster, longtime midcarder Breeze became the top male heel on NXT before transitioning to the main roster himself a few months later, aligning himself with Wrestling/SummerRae and engaging in a feud with Wrestling/DolphZiggler. He later formed a tag team (Wrestling/{{Breezango}} aka the Fashion Police) with Wrestling/{{Fandango}}.

* UndisclosedFunds: One must only assume he'd be decently wealthy as a model... but clearly he's either got side ventures or came from old money on top of his modeling career.

His billing location still changes every two to three months, too - which is very quick for him to be selling and buying these homes in sequential order. So chances are he's just obscenely rich.

[[spoiler:Unfortunately, his first opponent was Dean Ambrose, so he didn't last extremely long.

It was probably the only legit title match they could have with enough drama to match the original title match they were planning[[/note]]]].

* ArchEnemy: For a period, it was Hideo Itami.
* BlondGuysAreEvil
* BreakThemByTalking: Did this in brutal fashion to Marcus Louis before beating him in one move.
* CampStraight
* CatchPhrase: He likes to insult people by calling them 'Uggos'.
* CharacterDevelopment: Went from being a SissyVillain who was reluctant to let his face and hair get messed up to a legitimate contender for the NXT title who had no problem getting hit in the face, but continued to focus on his looks to throw his opponents off their games.
* DavidVersusGoliath: He actually has a great record against the [[TheGiant bigger wrestlers]] in NXT, sometimes [[SquashMatch squashing them flat]], it's only when a guy similar in build that he has problems.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: "Sings" the lyrics to "#Mmmgorgeous", which basically amounts to Tyler talking about how really really really ridiculously good looking he is.
* [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas Even Narcissistic Heels Love Their Mamas]]: He ''flipped'' when Adrian Neville made a YourMom joke.
* {{Expy}}:
** Of ''Film/{{Zoolander}}'' - he practically emulates Zoolander's signature "Blue Steel" look as he walks to the ring.
** Of post-Rockers Wrestling/ShawnMichaels - he's athletic, he's arrogant, his FinishingMove is a kick to the head, and he sings his own theme music, which is entirely about how good-looking he is.
* TheFightingNarcissist
* GorgeousGeorge
* GroinAttack: Accidentally low-blowed Sami Zayn during their match at Takeover, when he raised his hands to protect his face and in the process hit Zayn (who was trying to kick him) in the balls.
* {{Heel}}: Breeze has been one for the entire duration of the gimmick to date.
* IncomingHam: He makes it a point in his entrance to turn around dramatically just as the music really gets going.
** His original theme built up for 10 seconds, before the spotlights fell on Tyler as the main tune kicked in.
** "#Mmmgorgeous" starts with a crowd of paparazzi calling for Tyler to look in their direction.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He pretty much had a fit when he found out that the song '#selfie' by the Chainsmokers didn't have a single selfie of him in it. After starting a campaign, the Chainsmokers put one of his selfies in an updated version of the video.
* NotInTheFace: Obviously his weak spot; he'd also prefer it if his hair didn't get messed up. CJ Parker made a point of targeting his face because of this, and as a a result he got better about it.
* PetTheDog: The only heel to congratulate Sami Zayn on finally winning the NXT title.
* PrettyInMink: It's become something of a RunningGag that all of his clothes are made out of the fur of extremely exotic animals.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gave a very nasty one to Marcus Louis that had a very big hand in Louis' mental breakdown.
* RedBaron: The King of Cuteville, the Sire of Selfies and Prince Pretty.
* ShakingHerHairLoose: Generally starts matches with his hair in a neat bun. Once the pace of the match picks up, he stops caring about his hair, and it usually ends up in a frazzled mess.
* SissyVillain: Perhaps because of this and the general silliness of the gimmick, even though he's a heel, he still gets cheers.
** As his feud with CJ Parker escalated, he started to become ''afraid'' of the guy, with stunts like running out of the ring at the bell.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: His feud with CJ Parker with Parker as the slob, himself as the snob.
* SoreLoser: For all he pretended to not care about Hideo Itami beating him in the first round of the #1 Contenders' Tournament, he later attacked Itami in an interview, furiously berating him for winning only to lose to Finn Balor.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Spent seemingly ''forever'' in developmental (five years, to be exact) only to get yanked up to the main roster during the fall (not a traditional call-up season) completely without warning or preamble and immediately begin feuding with Dolph Ziggler. A few weeks later, he was actually in a tournament for the vacated world championship. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, his first opponent was Dean Ambrose, so he didn't last extremely long.]]
* VanityIsFeminine: He loves to take selfies of himself, something teenage girls are known for. He's also obsessed with his appearance so [[DesignatedVillain therefore we must hate him.]]
* WrestlingDoesntPay: He's a model turned wrestler.
