Insight into Breakker's WWE tryout experience.
It was in 2021 that Bron Breakker signed with WWE. Fast forward to present day, and Breakker's accolades include being a two-time NXT Champion, NXT Tag Team Champion, men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winner, and a two-time Intercontinental Champion.
While sitting down with The Undertaker for a recording of Six Feet Under, Breakker looked back at his WWE tryout experience.
He shared that when it came time for the promo portion, he began burying the talent in the room and the current WWE TV product.
“So it’s second day, Matt (Bloom) pulls me aside. He’s like, ‘Hey man, you know, I think it’s great, all the stuff in the ring thus far. It’s great. But, you haven’t said anything since being here…’ We do a promo test to see who can talk, who’s got charisma, whatever, and everybody was sitting. There was probably about 15 of us in there and there was a couple NXT talent just kind of shadowing and helping out and they were like -- Matt’s like, ‘Alright, Steiner, go up and cut a minute promo on who you are, tell us who you are.’ So I go full -- everyone was laughing almost because they just didn’t expect -- because up until this point, I had shown them nothing. So then I go full Steiner for the whole minute and everyone’s laughing, laughing their ass off at me like, ‘Oh my God, this guy.’ So then, I sit down and I cut my minute promo and then, they break us up into Survivor Series teams and we all go cut a five versus five promo and I just took the mic and I was just like, bury every one of those guys. (It) was like, ‘You suck and you’re fat…’ So then, we do that one, we sit down and then Matt calls me back up after everyone’s done. The drill’s over with. Matt calls me, he goes, ‘Go back up. Cut another one on this,’ and I didn’t blink and I was just like, boom, did it again. Buried the current product at the time… So, everyone was just laughing. The rest was history I guess.”
Breakker picked up a victory in singles competition on the 6/23 Monday Night Raw. He bested Penta after spearing him in mid-air.
