Kevin Nash saw something special in Bron Breakker.
Bron Breakker has become one of WWE's brightest stars. The two-time NXT Champion is now making a name for himself on WWE Raw. He was previously the face of NXT's new era as he represented the brand's changing philosophy.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash highlighted Bron Breakker's athleticism.
“He ran, in the NFL, he was a running back at I think Kennesaw State University, and if I’m not mistaken, he ran like a 4.23 [40-yard dash] or something like that, and he’s a big fucking kid. I talked to him, and I talked to [Rick Steiner], his father, and [Rick] wanted him to, because he was going to Baltimore as a free agent. I called Paul [Triple H] and I said, ‘We got a Steiner that runs a fucking 4.23. He’s impressive as fuck.’ I’ve known him forever. My son played with him when they were little kids. So I’m apprehensive because I’m like ah, he’s one of my good friend’s kids, I’ve known him forever. But it’s like fuck that, man. He’s a stud. Him getting in [Adam Pearce’s] face saying, ‘Why wasn’t I in King of the Ring?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, motherfucker. Why wasn’t he in King of the Ring?’" Nash said.
Breakker defeated Ricochet on the June 3 episode of WWE Raw. He is set to face Ilja Dragunov on June 10.
