Xavier Woods Says He Was Told To Distance Himself From Released WWE Star

On Friday it was reported that WWE had released a total of 14 Superstars, one of which was Tyler Breeze. The wrestling world has been reacting to the releases, and Xavier Woods recently took to social media to show some support for Tyler.

Xavier Woods talked about their early days in FCW, and noted that he was told to distance himself from Tyler Breeze by his coaches. Woods even claimed that some people lied to him and Breeze in an effort to turn them against one another. Xavier’s post reads as follows:

“When I met @mmmgorgeous we were in FCW. We were cool but ended up both being injured once and we would keep each other from going insane by waking up and playing borderlands 2 online together. Through this video game we realized that we were the ying to the others yang. Started talking and hanging out more and realized I was really charismatic but not the best wrestler and he was an amazing wrestler but not the most charismatic. We fit together like puzzle pieces and began learning from each other. Some coaches told me quite a few times to “watch who I hang out with”, “distance yourself from that guy”, “why would you wanna tag with him? He’s not going to help your career”. Some even tried lying in an attempt to put us against each other. We never understood it but by never letting anyone ever get to us he taught me how to be better in the ring and I helped him bring out his natural charisma. Since then every step my @wwe career Matt has literally always been there right with me no matter what. He pushes me to get better and to believe in myself when I don’t. I’m not sure where I’d be in life if he wasn’t in mine. Today sucks. It really sucks. But I’m happy because now my incredibly talented friend gets to do whatever he wants to do and I’m so happy that he has that freedom. Love you man!

Also, we bonded through games. And we will stick together with games 😉”

Tyler Breeze also followed up with a friendship appreciation post praising Xavier Woods.

Stay tuned for more updates on the WWE releases as they become available.
