Bron Breakker, WWE’s 26-year-old superstar, has been making waves in the wrestling world with his incredible combination of power, speed, and explosiveness. Drawing comparisons to icons like Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, Breakker’s ascent to the main roster was highly anticipated. However, despite a promising start, WWE has made several mistakes that have limited his impact on the main roster.
One of the most glaring mistakes was the decision to split up The Wolf Dogs, the popular tag team consisting of Breakker and Baron Corbin. The duo’s comedic chemistry was a hit with the WWE Universe, and fans were eagerly awaiting their joint venture on the main roster. Instead, Corbin was drafted to SmackDown, leaving Breakker to forge his own path on RAW. This separation has so far resulted in Corbin losing his first match back on the blue brand, while Breakker’s appearances have been sporadic and lacking in substance.
Another mistake has been WWE’s failure to capitalize on Breakker’s impressive Royal Rumble debut. His standout performance, which included eliminating four superstars, should have been the catalyst for a strong push on the main roster. Instead, Breakker has been limited to squash matches, giving fans a watered-down version of his abilities. This lack of meaningful competition is a far cry from the intense matches and feuds that WWE’s top stars are involved in.
Furthermore, WWE’s decision to call up Breakker without a clear plan has resulted in him being underutilized. In contrast, other recent call-ups like Jade Cargill, Naomi, and Andrade have been featured prominently in WrestleMania storylines and are now vying for top spots. Breakker, on the other hand, has been relegated to the sidelines, without a clear direction or purpose.
Lastly, WWE’s failure to provide Breakker with meaningful opponents has been a significant misstep. The company has missed opportunities to pit him against top stars like Gunther, Sheamus, and Bobby Lashley, instead opting for low-stakes matches that do little to advance his character. As a result, Breakker’s main roster run has been underwhelming, with many fans wondering what could have been.
Despite these mistakes, there are signs that WWE is looking to revamp Breakker’s storyline. Recent teases of a feud with Sheamus and increased television appearances are encouraging signs that the company is willing to course-correct. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether WWE can recover from these missteps and provide Breakker with the platform he deserves.
