Bron Breakker On Being A Heel: I Don't Have To Be A Character, This Is More Natural And Who I Am

Bron Breakker is being himself.

Bron Breakker has shown off a more aggressive side since losing his NXT Championship to Carmelo Hayes at NXT Stand & Deliver. He's gone after competitors outside of the ring and set his sights on Seth Rollins and the WWE World Heavyweight Title.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Breakker was asked about his new persona.

"I think this is just more natural for me, to be honest with you. It just fits me a whole lot better. I don't have to be a character or get into character. This is more natural and who I am. I'm having a lot of fun," he said. "When I was the NXT Champion, towards the end of the long run that I had, people started to turn on me and change their tune when I came out. It's tough. I felt reserved, like I'm holding this back. I can't really describe it. Finally, I was like, 'screw it. I'm done caring what these people think of me, whether they like me, whether they don't, I'm going to do whatever I want and that's it.'"

Breakker is set to challenge Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Title on the June 20 episode of NXT Gold Rush.
