Nick Aldis has been diligently striving to elevate SmackDown to the pinnacle among WWE’s three shows, actively pursuing contracts with promising talents.
The dynamic competition between Aldis and Adam Pearce for signing top-notch superstars to their respective brands has been captivating to witness.
In the recent episode of SmackDown, Aldis made a significant announcement, revealing Bron Breakker as the newest addition to the blue brand.
Breakker, the current NXT Tag Team Champion, made his presence felt at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he officially penned the contract live on-air.
This move comes after a previous encounter where Breakker was unable to seal the deal due to a better offer from RAW, as informed by Adam Pearce.
Speculation arises whether Aldis enticed Breakker to SmackDown by promising a title opportunity, akin to his strategy in securing Randy Orton’s allegiance with a shot at The Bloodline. If Breakker has been guaranteed a title shot, it could potentially be against either Roman Reigns or Logan Paul.

There’s also the prospect that Breakker might contend for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship post-WrestleMania 40, regardless of whether Reigns or Cody Rhodes holds the title. This diversifies the narrative from the ongoing feud involving The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.
Alternatively, Breakker could emerge as Logan Paul’s next challenger for the United States Championship, setting the stage for an engaging rivalry fueled by their contrasting personas.
Another unsigned talent, Jade Cargill, could be swayed to join SmackDown by offering her the final spot in the 2024 Women’s Elimination Chamber Match at the upcoming event in Perth, Australia.
This presents a prime opportunity for Cargill to vie for a title shot against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40. However, with Becky Lynch also eyeing the Women’s World Championship, a potential Triple Threat Match involving Cargill, Lynch, and Ripley could materialize.
The acquisition of Bron Breakker marks a significant coup for WWE SmackDown. His impressive performance in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, coupled with his illustrious wrestling lineage as the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner, has garnered widespread acclaim from the WWE Universe.
Nick Aldis recently shared a compelling photo collage on Twitter, depicting his interaction with Scott Steiner and Bron Breakker, symbolizing the journey from inception to fruition.
Breakker’s tenure as the NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Baron Corbin is expected to conclude at NXT Stand & Deliver 2024, paving the way for his official transition to Friday Night SmackDown.
