NXT Champion Dolph Ziggler praised his opponent on the upcoming NXT: Stand and Deliver, Bron Breakker, saying he has a great career ahead of him.

The Show-off recently sat down for an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider and discussed his experience in NXT 2.0. When asked about his incursion into NXT, he said that he was not prepared for a title run. He just came to scout some talent and is seeing some great careers in the making, including the man he took the NXT Championship from, Bron Breakker.

"I think Bron Breakker has one hell of a career ahead of him, I don't think he's quite ready to go but holy crap is he explosive. I've been speared by Goldberg numerous times and it felt like my chest caved in. This kid hit me like a linebacker in their prime in the NFL and when I got up I said, "Man, I can't wait to do this again." Dolph Ziggler as he praised Bron Breakker (h/t PWInsider)

The former World Heavyweight Champion believes that the NXT 2.0 prospect needs some time in the business to understand the in-ring psychology to fulfill his potential.
