5 reasons Bron Breakker might be the one to beat Roman Reigns

Both NXT Champion Bron Breakker and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns are WWE Superstars in their own right. Coming from a lineage of wrestling greats, they rose through the ranks and are now reaping the fruits of their labor within their respective brands.

Breakker has held the NXT Championship for quite a while now and is slated to defend it in the upcoming Deadline event against Apollo Crews. But what’s next for him after the Deadline dust settles? Could this be NXT’s way of sending him off with a bang before he finally breaks through to the main roster?

There have been speculations that by the time he steps into the big league, WWE could be prepping him for a match against The Bloodline’s Head of the Table, Roman Reigns, somewhere down the line. But what plausible reasons could there be for him being touted as the one to beat the seemingly unbeatable champion?

#5. Bron Breakker could beat WWE Superstar Roman Reigns to introduce a fresh face for the title

Roman Reigns’ ironclad grip on both the WWE and Universal Championships is commendable and he is one of the longest-reigning champions of the promotion.

He has successfully defended the belts against equally talented WWE Superstars With them defeated, it looks like the promotion may have run out of wrestlers who are on a par with The Tribal Chief’s skills. That said, with the possible addition of Bron Breakker to the main roster, WWE could be looking at the future champion of the company.

With proper training, Breakker can certainly be a huge threat to The Bloodline leader’s title reign.

#4. The age factor

Bron Breakker just turned 25 last October. With age in his favor, he will obviously be packed with energy, agility, and stamina, all of which are essential to a wrestler's success.

Roman Reigns is still not past his prime at 37 and can definitely take some sick bumps. However, The Tribal Chief is just about reaching that age bracket where he must be wary of in-ring moves that could put his title reign in jeopardy.

There’s no denying that Reigns is in red-hot form at the moment and him losing the championship titles is highly unlikely. Nonetheless, there will come a time when the WWE Superstar will have to hand over the belts and it is possible that it will be to someone as young as Breakker.

#3. It’s in Bron Breakker’s blood

For the uninitiated, the NXT Champion is the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. The Steiner Brothers, as the tag team Hall of Famers were known, managed to capture numerous championships from different promotions. This includes the distinction of winning the WWE Tag Team Championship a couple of times.

Breakker, on the other hand, captured the NXT title early on in his career at WWE’s developmental brand. But his quest for championship gold will not stop here. Both fans and critics alike expect him to soon join WWE’s main roster, though it is yet to be determined whether he will be joining RAW or SmackDown.

By the time he enters the fray, it is expected that Breakker will grab every opportunity to quickly get on top just like his dad and uncle Pump. To that end, he could be hot on the trail of WWE Superstar Roman Reigns.

#2. A spear that could match Roman’s

The Spear is just one of the devastating moves Roman Reigns has in his arsenal. Delivering it to his opponent during a match can certainly turn the tide of the bout. The infamous move of the champion may soon meet its match as Bron Breakker also has a penchant for breaking other pro wrestlers in half with such displays.

Video clips of NXT Superstars that have been on the receiving end of it prove how potent Breakker’s power is. It’s not just the Spear this soon-to-be WWE Superstar has perfected. He’s also fond of using moves like the Alabama Slam, Frankensteiner, and even the Steiner Recliner that earned him his NXT Championship.

By the time they cross paths, Reigns better be ready for a whole lot of suplex-based moves.

#1. Bron Breakker had already put WWE Superstar Roman Reigns on notice long ago

Bron Breakker’s career scaled up pretty quickly and he was able to capture the NXT Championship in just about a year of being with the promotion. Before he could even win the title, he had already set his sights on Roman Reigns as his eventual opponent.

In an interview with ViBe & Wrestling about a year ago, he made a bold statement about going head-to-head with Roman Reigns and beating him in the process. It’s not just The Tribal Chief that he wants to brawl against. He also mentioned other WWE Superstars like Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Big E, and Drew McIntyre.

Until then, here’s to hoping that Roman Reigns holds onto those titles.
