In a recent interview with Daily DDT, WWE NXT superstar Fandango revealed that when he was cleared to return to in-ring action, he requested that the company allow him to return to the WWE NXT brand, which he did in Summer 2019.

“I’m actually the one who asked to go to NXT, I wanted to go there and I wanted to go back and team with Breeze. I think there was more left in the tank with both of us as Breezango and I knew going to NXT, we’d get more time to go and show people what we can do in the ring.

I think The Fashion Files on SmackDown was a very good way for us to showcase our personalities and our abilities to cut promos and do backstage skits, which was great. It’s cool to have such a diverse body of work, being able to show people you can be entertaining and do goofy stuff and be a good character, but I knew going to NXT would allow us to show that we can actually go in the ring.

As I look at a complete professional wrestler, I look at their full body of work over their career, you can check off the boxes, comedy, the promos and I think going to NXT has shown that we can both really go in the ring, which means a lot to me, because I take pride in that.”
