Speaking to Bill Apter of Sportskeeda, Hulk Hogan was asked about the prospects of Breakker.

"He's something else. He's wise beyond his years, To be that intense and to know that the red light is on and be able to stay in that zone, it's very impressive. If they do the right thing with him, that could be the next Stone Cold [Steve Austin], Rock, or Hulk Hogan. He could be the guy," said Breakker.

Asked if he sees similarities to Bill Goldberg, Hogan replied, "A lot of similarities. He has that extra spice. Bill had a certain thing. I had a certain thing. Rock had a certain thing. Bron Breakker has all of the above, plus he has a little extra spice on his plate. He's ramped it up, and he's just getting started. I can't even imagine what's going to happen when he really figures it out."

Hogan continued, "He's beyond the 'quick kill' protection. He can go, from what I see. He's been broke in the correct way. He's put time in. He's ready to go. Moving forward, I hope he learns and picks up more wisdom. Some guys are in the business for 15 to 20 years, they think they're smart and they're main event guys, but they never figure it out. I hope Bron Breakker figures it out. If he does, he's going to be hard to deal with."

Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner and the nephew of Scott Steiner.

He will challenge Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Money in the Bank.
