5 Reasons Why NXT TakeOver XXV Will Be Better Than AEW Double or Nothing

#4 Velveteen Dream vs. Tyler Breeze

Velveteen Dream vs. Tyler Breeze has the potential to steal the show.

Velveteen Dream has been a revelation on NXT TakeOver specials, often stealing the show with everything from his theatricality to the quality of his in-ring performance. As North American Champion, he seems to have found a fine niche a notch below the main event but nonetheless in a consistently featured spot.

For TakeOver XXV, Dream finds himself defending his title against Tyler Breeze. Newer fans may find this to be an odd booking, given Breeze has spent the last three years on the main roster. However, before Breeze was underutilized in the tag team and lower mid-card picture on Raw and SmackDown, he was a star in developmental. This program with Dream functions as Prince Pretty’s homecoming.

Had the North American title been around when Breeze was originally in NXT, he would have been a lock to hold it, given he was quite similar to Dream as a brash guy who delivered the goods bell to bell and consistently found himself just beneath NXT Champion status. Given Dream’s TakeOver history and the extent to which Breeze will have something to prove based on his lackluster main roster run, we can expect this match to be lights out.
