Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Breeze discussed his match against Jushin Thunder Liger and what went into creating the match:
"I had a couple of ideas and we put it together." Breeze said. "The crazy part to me was when I said 'Maybe I tackle you and I go and lay on top. Then you get me with something and you go and lay on top.' He goes 'Me lay up top?' I said 'Yeah.' He goes 'Oh thank you thank you [shakes my hand.' I go 'What do you mean thank you?! This is awesome.' He said 'You're letting me do your stuff.' Well of course, why wouldn't I? The we did something else and I said 'Maybe you grab the selfie stick?' Again he says 'Me grab the selfie stick? Thank you thank you [shakes hand again].' What is happening?! This is insane, he is a legend in his own category. He is sitting here thanking me for letting him do whatever he wants to do, no ego whatsoever."
Liger's encounter with Breeze was the only match he has ever had in WWE. Breeze also stated that he feels honored to be the only one to have the honor of competing with the wrestling veteran in WWE.
