In a backstage segment on SmackDown last week, Triple H appeared to tease significant developments for a major WWE star, Bron Breakker.
The former NXT Champion sought guidance from his boss, only to be interrupted by Paul Heyman, who announced the imminent arrival of The Rock and Roman Reigns on the show.
Following this intriguing exchange, NXT witnessed The Wolf Dogs, comprising Breakker and Baron Corbin, clinching victory over The Family to secure the brand’s tag team titles.
While some may speculate if this win could affect Triple H’s plans for Breakker, recent developments suggest otherwise.
Despite the title victory, plans for Breakker’s transition to the main roster have not been derailed. Winning the NXT Tag Team Championship likely aligns with the long-term strategy for Breakker’s trajectory.
Although his surprise appearance at the Royal Rumble was reportedly a spontaneous decision, the 26-year-old sensation is poised for substantial exposure on WWE’s flagship programming as WrestleMania XL approaches.
Moreover, Breakker and Corbin’s triumph was the result of their prior victory in the Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, showcasing a deliberate buildup in NXT storylines.
According to insights from Shawn Michaels, the head booker of NXT, Breakker’s journey in the developmental brand is far from over. Despite negotiations with Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis, the ongoing storyline is anticipated to culminate at WrestleMania.
While Michaels has hinted at Breakker potentially splitting his time between the main roster and NXT, a permanent move to the main roster seems unlikely in the immediate future.
Speculations arise regarding Breakker being paired with Paul Heyman, positioning him as the next “Paul Heyman Guy” on the main roster. Such an alliance could influence Breakker’s brand decision amid contract negotiations and shape his future trajectory in WWE.
As anticipation mounts, the WWE Universe awaits eagerly to see which brand will welcome the current NXT Tag Team Champion, Bron Breakker, signaling an exciting chapter in his burgeoning career.
