When WWE started NXT 2.0, Bron Breakker<\/a> was clearly placed as the focal point of the rebrand. Even when the dynamic shifted into a less cartoony aesthetic for the developmental brand, Breakker was the top dog.<\/p>\n He won the NXT Title twice and also captured tag team gold. On the main roster, he won the Intercontinental Championship and was pegged as a future main eventer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/template><\/p>\n With the way things have gone down over the last year, however, it feels like that sentiment has changed. He took over the Vision from Seth Rollins<\/a> but has been a top mid-carder at best.<\/p>\n Breakker was a potential favorite to win the 2026 Royal Rumble and challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42, but was unceremoniously eliminated within the first 30 seconds of the entire match.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n The Vision won tag team gold but has been in shambles over the last few months, thanks to injuries. Pushing the Bloodline on RAW over everything else has vastly undercut the Vision’s allure.<\/p>\n Breakker may not be the next big main event star WWE is looking for for the next three reasons. He could also be that megastar for two other reasons.<\/p>\n It’s hard for every star to be CM Punk or Becky Lynch on the mic. Learning to consistently cut engaging promos every time a mic is in hand is probably the hardest thing for a star to do.<\/p>\n Other names like Sami Zayn<\/a>, Kevin Owens, AJ Lee, and even Seth Rollins are also the best at delivering compelling promos each week. Some will say Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes<\/a> are as well, but both say the same thing in every promo.<\/p>\n While he doesn’t bring the house down on the mic each week on RAW, top-level stars and those who stay there must be able to deliver great promos to help sell feuds. Breakker can cut a promo, but against CM Punk, he showed he needed a little more work before permanently joining the main event.<\/p>\n Breakker was signed after his collegiate football career ended. He played fullback, a position known for being fearless and physical. The position requires a player to smash opponents and carve out paths for running backs.<\/p>\n The former NXT Champion has proven to be one of the most explosive stars of the last 30 years, as displayed by his Spears. He’s quick, sudden, and physical.<\/p>\n Brock Lesnar<\/a> was a physical anomaly with similar traits. Possessing those traits means that Breakker already has one skill set needed to ascend in WWE.<\/p>\n Pro wrestling will always need a smashmouth performer like Bron Breakker. Being an imposing star is an easy way for certain performers to get over with the fans.<\/p>\n If everyone was built like Finn Balor or Je’Von Evans, it’d be hard to take them seriously against someone like Oba Femi<\/a>. While being an unstoppable force in the ring is one of Breakker’s strengths, it’s also one of his weaknesses.<\/p>\n He doesn’t have many layers yet, other than a tough guy who runs around the ring. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have been so successful because they’ve been able to adapt and craft different personas every few years.<\/p>\n They know the shelf life of their current character and adapt as needed. Breakker is great at one thing, so it may be difficult to be a consistent presence in the main event with his current character. It may also be why he lost to Rollins at Night of Champions.<\/p>\n The easiest way for a potential wrestler to get his or her foot in the door with WWE is to come from a famous wrestling family. If that wasn’t the case, then Charlotte Flair wouldn’t have 14 World Title wins.<\/p>\n Roman Reigns wouldn’t have had a never-ending push and a title run of over 1,200 days. Cody Rhodes got a huge second chance because he bet on himself and his name. Randy Orton<\/a> can thank his last name for a good portion of his success.<\/p>\n Being linked to the Bloodline nowadays gives a star a great chance of being signed by WWE. Just look at Solo Sikoa<\/a>, Jacob Fatu, Nia Jax, Tama Tonga, and others. Zilla Fatu may be next.<\/p>\n Breakker is the son of legendary star Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. Vince McMahon and Triple H love pushing names from prominent wrestling families. That, and WWE’s history of pushing many of those stars to the main event works in Bron’s favor.<\/p>\n Triple H is the main force behind WWE Creative. He picks who to push and when to push them. Some stars are always on top while others have to work hard just to get one main event spot.<\/p>\n The Game was recently asked about who he considers future WrestleMania main-eventers. He mentioned <\/a>the names Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, Oba Femi, and Sol Ruca<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s easy to say those performers because all four have been heavily pushed in the last eight months. Triple H is also the one to determine each star’s trajectory.<\/p>\n It was very telling that he didn’t mention Breakker in those comments. He had a dominant run when he initially joined the main roster and was put with Seth Rollins last year.<\/p>\n After turning on him, it’s gone downhill. When the main man in charge doesn’t mention an obvious name like Breakker, it has to be disappointing news for the WWE star and his fans.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
