Bron Breakker knows it’s no secret to the WWE Universe that his dad and uncle are the legendary Steiner Brothers.
NXT 2.0 Superstar Bron Breakker recently sat down with Yahoo! News to discuss all things WWE. When asked about how the Bron Breakker name and character came about, Breakker revealed it started back in his days of playing college football:
“The idea of Bron Breakker, the character, it’s a lot of who I am, there’s a lot of reality in it,” Bron Breakker said. “The idea came from when I was playing football in college and a little bit in the pros, when I blocked people I just wanted to break them in half. That was my mentality. I was a hard-hitting guy who loved doing the dirty work. I thought that if I used to do it in football, I could build the character around it.”
Regarding the constant comparisons to his father Rick Steiner and his uncle Scott Steiner, Breakker says he’s trying to build something that will be able to stand on its own:
“As far as me standing on my own, everybody knows who my dad and uncle are and what they did in their careers,” Bron Breakker said. “It’s no secret. I feel like I am making a name for myself separate from all of that and building something here that stands on its own.”
Bron Breakker will challenge Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil on January 4, 2002.
