#2 Roman Reigns saved Tyler Breeze's WWE career

Roman Reigns debuted on the main roster as a part of The Shield in 2012. The Big Dog went on to achieve a lot of success in WWE, winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and later the Universal Championship. He is a Grand Slam Champion now. He has also headlined multiple WrestleMania shows.

Roman is currently at his home, as he has opted not to work during the COVID-19 pandemic. He is an influential Superstar backstage, but even when he was in FCW, he played a significant role in saving Tyler Breeze's job. The Breezango member, who currently competes on WWE NXT, was paired with Roman Reigns in FCW at the last moment, and the duo won the tag team titles.

Xavier Woods and Tyler Breeze later revealed how teaming up with Reigns saved the latter's job. As Woods recalled, Breeze was on the verge of being released until the backstage staff paired him with The Big Dog:

"All of a sudden, I see Breeze walking out and I hear his music. I’m like, ‘Wait, what? We’re a tag team?’ And then I see him walking out with who? Roman Reigns. And then what happens? By the end of that match, there’s a one, two, three, and Breeze and Roman Reigns were the new Tag Team Champions, while Breeze and I were a legitimate tag team.”

It is worth noting that even Cesaro played a vital role in saving Tyler Breeze's career as WWE canceled their decision to release him after his match with The Swiss Cyborg.
