Nick Aldis praises Bron Breakker.
Former NXT Champion Bron Breakker signed with SmackDown after competing in the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble. He quickly made an impact by picking up a few dominant victories during his time on the brand.
Speaking with Bill Apter for Sportskeeda WrestleBinge ahead of the WWE Draft, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis was asked to share his thoughts on Bron Breakker.
“When you said Jade [Cargill], I was about to say, hey, for me, for me, top two, and not in any particular order, as my number one draft picks, were Jade and Bron. They were the free agents that I wanted," Aldis said.
Apter then noted that Breakker was like the next Goldberg. Aldis replied by saying that Breakker was the first Bron Breakker. He stated that he had a lot of time for him. Aldis went on to state that Breakker was ready.
“He’s the first Bron Breakker. He is tremendous, and I have a tremendous amount of time for him. I obviously have a great relationship with his uncle [Scott Steiner]. I love that kid, and he’s ready. I mean he’s ready to take on that spot," Aldis said.
Aldis was then asked to name the ideal opponent for Breakker. He stated that, down the road, that would be Roman Reigns. However, he noted that Breakker would have to work his way through the roster first, and he spoke highly of the depth.
"Down the road? Roman [Reigns]. Down the road. But we’re not there yet, and that’s absolutely fine. But listen, he’s got to, just because I believe in him, obviously the company believes in him, the people believe in him, he still has to make his way through this roster. Again, like I said, you’re talking about world-class, maybe the best roster ever assembled. I might be a little partisan to WWE in 2002 because when you look at that, that’s like an all-star…I don’t know if we’ll ever repeat that level of depth of talent and star power, but we’re getting close," Aldis said.
During the WWE Draft, Bron Breakker was selected by WWE Raw. He and Baron Corbin reacted to getting picked by different brands. More information is available here.
