Bron Breakker, the powerhouse performer with a pedigree as prestigious as his biceps, has arrived on SmackDown – and the wrestling world is abuzz.
His impressive Royal Rumble showing and NXT Championship reign made his main roster call-up inevitable, and the cheers erupted like fireworks with his official introduction.
But while some fans envision him as the heir apparent to Brock Lesnar’s “Beast Incarnate” mantle, others urge him to blaze his own trail.
Breakker’s potential is undeniable. His raw talent, honed in NXT, has already captivated audiences. His youth and athleticism ignite comparisons to legends like his father, Rick Steiner, and uncle, Scott Steiner. But is simply becoming “the new Lesnar” the best path for him?
Proponents argue that Breakker, like Lesnar, embodies raw power and dominance. They envision him decimating opponents, creating a similar aura of excitement and unpredictability.

Lesnar’s absence from WrestleMania, with the Intercontinental Championship title hanging like a trophy, further fuels this speculation. Bill Apter, legendary wrestling journalist, even sees Breakker as the ideal contender to dethrone Gunther, mirroring Lesnar’s past victories.
Opponents believe Breakker deserves more than just imitating another star. They see a unique charisma and personality waiting to unfold. His character, distinct from Lesnar’s, is still evolving, and forcing him into a predetermined mold could stifle his own creativity and marketability.
So, what lies in Breakker’s future? Here are some possible scenarios:
- Breakker Embraces the Beast Within: He dives headfirst into a Lesnar-esque persona, utilizing his power and aggression to conquer opponents. This might generate immediate buzz, but could limit his long-term storytelling potential.
- Breaks Free from the mold: He carves his own path, showcasing his charisma and athleticism while developing a distinct character. This might take longer to build momentum, but would create a more sustainable and engaging journey.
- Blends Both Paths: He channels his power and intensity while staying true to his personal flair. This “hybrid” approach maximizes his talent without sacrificing individuality.
No matter which path he chooses, Breakker’s future is bright. His arrival on SmackDown is just the beginning. Whether he embraces a familiar beastly persona or forges his own path, one thing’s certain: Bron Breakker’s roar will echo through WWE for years to come. His story is just beginning, and the choice of how it unfolds rests on his broad shoulders, and potentially, his own creative spirit.
