WWE Name Hopes To Keep Bron Breakker In NXT For One More Year

WWE

WWE name and NXT commentator Booker T says he hopes to keep Bron Breakker on the NXT brand for one more year.

Debuting in September 2021, Bron Breakker quickly established himself as a breakout star for the developmental brand.

Breakker captured the NXT Championship twice and currently stands as the second longest reigning champion based on accumulative days in the brand’s history.

Speaking on the Hall of Fame podcast with Brad Gilmore, WWE Hall of Famer and NXT commentator Booker T was asked to share his thoughts on Bron Breakker’s progress. He answered:

“I love the progress of Bron Breakker, and I love Bron Breakker not moving to the main roster too soon.”

“This kid got so, so much potential, and you don’t want to just ruin it by saying, ‘Oh, he’s ready, let’s put him on the main roster, throw him in the deep end, let’s see if he can swim.’”

“No, I don’t think so. I say you build that kid, you build him and build him. I’ve actually watched the maturity of Bron Breakker over this last year, how this kid has grown.”

“The growth has been exponential as far as when I see Bron Breakker, when Bron Breakker comes out, for some reason, it has a real feel to it.”

“When he’s in the ring, bringing the noise now, it feels real. When he delivers, it feels real. I love the growth of Bron Breakker.”

“As far as him going to the main roster and when do I perceive him actually making it to the main roster, I think it’s gonna be within the next year.”

“I would hope we keep him for at least one more year. I would hope to keep Bron Breakker in NXT for just one more year,”

On his belief that Breakker needs more seasoning on the NXT brand, Booker T said:

“I don’t either. Not at all. There’s gonna be plenty of time for him to go to the main roster, but just to let him grow a little bit more, prepare just a little bit more for when he does make it to the main roster.”

“So I think he can handle the main roster right now? Yes, I do. I really do. But for me, I would definitely season him just a little bit more,” 

Bron Breakker is set to compete in the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge against Dijak, Josh Briggs, Tyler Bate and Trick Williams on Saturday, December 9 at NXT Deadline.
