Tyler Breeze

Mattias Clement (born January 19, 1988) is a Canadian semi-retired professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Tyler Breeze as a part-time wrestler, member of the UpUpDownDown channel and as a writer for the NXT brand. He is best known for his previous tenure with WWE from 2010–2021, where he was a former one-time NXT Tag Team Champion.

From 2010 to 2012, he performed under the name Mike Dalton in WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). While in FCW, he won the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship and the FCW Florida Tag Team Championship (with Leakee). In 2013, he transitioned to NXT and came up with the Tyler Breeze character, a narcissistic "pretty boy" obsessed with taking selfies of himself, even during matches. In 2015, Clement was promoted to WWE's main roster, where he later teamed with Fandango to form a team known as "Breezango" and later on as "The Fashion Police" after the two began appearing in a number of comedic skits known as "The Fashion Files". In 2019, Breezango returned to NXT, with the duo winning the NXT Tag Team Championship in August 2020.

In 2019, Clement opened a wrestling school called Flatbacks Wrestling in Apopka, Florida, with Shawn Spears.

Mattias Clement was born on January 19, 1988 in Penticton, British Columbia. He trained under fellow professional wrestler Lance Storm at Storm's academy in Calgary.

Clement made his debut for Power Zone Wrestling in 2007 under the ring name Mattias Wild. His first match was a victory over Rage O'Riley on April 25, 2007. In 2008, Clement began wrestling for NWA Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling (ECCW). While wrestling for ECCW, Clement was trained by Lance Storm in Calgary, Alberta. On May 2, Clement won a match against Alex Plexis to qualify for the first round of the 2009 Pacific Cup; he then lost in the first round to Billy Suede on June 6, 2009. On September 5, 2009, he lost a tag team match with Dan Myers against the team of "The Icons" Jamie Diaz and Nick Price in a first round match for the ECCW Tag Team Championship. The teams then began a feud, with Price and Diaz coming out on top on most occasions. Clement then worked for Prairie Wrestling Alliance in 2010, returning to ECCW for a last match on September 11, 2010, which he lost to Billy Suede.

After signing with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Clement made his debut for WWE's developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) on December 2, 2010, at a live event as Matt Clement, where he defeated Big E Langston, Darren Young, Leakee and 2 others. The following month he was called Mike McGrath, which lasted 3 months, only to be changed again to Mike Dalton in April 2011. Dalton made his television debut on the July 17, 2011, episode of FCW TV in a loss to Alexander Rusev. He earned another win in FCW on November 17, 2011, against Peter Orlov. On December 15, Dalton won a battle royal to be named the number-one contender to the FCW Florida Heavyweight Championship. He challenged Leo Kruger, but lost the match. Dalton won the FCW Heavyweight Championship on February 2, 2012, when he defeated Kruger. His reign lasted 21 days and he lost the rematch and the title to Kruger.

When WWE rebranded FCW into NXT Wrestling, Dalton debuted as an enhancement talent on the June 20, 2012, episode of rebooted NXT show, where he teamed with CJ Parker and lost to The Ascension (Kenneth Cameron and Conor O'Brian). Dalton got his first victory when he teamed with Jason Jordan and defeated the team of Hunico and Camacho on August 1 but lost in a rematch against the two a few weeks later.

In the beginning of 2013, seeing that Dalton's character hadn't received much of the fans' attention, WWE officials informed him that in order to remain with WWE he should get a new character. On the July 24 episode of NXT, Clement re–debuted with his new heel gimmick, as Tyler Breeze, a narcissistic "pretty boy" obsessed with taking selfies, even during matches; and later was revealed that Clement himself came up with the character, with Triple H giving him the suggestion of using an iPhone to take pictures as a way to make the character more modern. Soon after, Breeze started a feud with CJ Parker, after repeatedly being "photobombed" by Parker. After the two were put in a tag team match against Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady, which they lost after Parker refused to tag in Breeze, a match between the two took place on the October 16 episode of NXT, which Breeze won. Two weeks later, Parker defeated Breeze in a rematch, and ended their feud.
