NXT Star Bron Brekker Claims His Spear Is Better Than Roman Reigns’
Roman Reigns has consistently wielded his spell as a prominent component of his arsenal, dating back to his days as the powerhouse of The Shield over a decade ago. However, a rising star within WWE’s ranks, Bron Breakker, believes he possesses an even more formidable version of this maneuver. The 25-year-old, son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner, has already clinched the NXT Championship twice and has dispatched numerous adversaries with his spear, a technique deeply rooted in his background in collegiate and professional football. While acknowledging Roman Reigns as the WWE Universal Champion and “The Tribal Chief,” Breakker asserts his confidence in the superiority of his spell. According to him, when he executes this move, his opponents do not rise easily, and he endeavours to inflict maximum pain. Breakker maintains that a discernible disparity exists when comparing his spell to Reigns’, as evident when reviewing the footage. He highlights his exceptional athletic abilities, backed by impressive combined statistics, as further evidence of his superiority in this regard. In a recent interview with Stick to Wrestling, Breakker expressed his conviction: “Mine’s clearly better.” In the upcoming NXT No Mercy event in Bakersfield, California, Breakker will return to the ring to face Baron Corbin, while Reigns, who hasn’t competed since SummerSlam, is rumoured to defend his WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel in November. The question remains: between these two superstars, who do you believe boasts the superior spell? Could his comment hint at a possible appearance by him on the Raw after next year’s Wrestlemania to confront Roman? Time will tell. To provide some context about Brekker, born on October 24th, 1997, Bronson Rechsteiner hails from a wrestling lineage, being the offspring of Rick Steiner and the nephew of Scott Steiner. Wrestling is deeply ingrained in his family heritage. Rechsteiner, who signed with WWE in February 2021 under the ring name Bron Breakker, made his televised debut on September 14, defeating LA Knight. Subsequently, during the September 21 episode of NXT, Breakker had his first tag team match, partnering with Tommaso Ciampa to defeat Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland. Another successful tag match followed on October 19, when Breakker and Ciampa triumphed over the Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Breakker secured his second singles victory on November 2, defeating Andre Chase decisively. In November, he participated in a series of triple threat matches for the NXT Championship, which was held by his former tag team partner Tommaso Ciampa. These matches also involved a third competitor, Sami Zayn. On December 5 at WarGames, Breakker teamed up with Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, and Tony D’Angelo as “Team 2.0” to defeat Ciampa, Knight, Johnny Gargano, and Pete Dunne, known as “Team Black & Gold,” in a WarGames match. Breakker’s pivotal moment came less than a year after his televised debut, on January 4, 2022, at NXT: New Year’s Evil, where he defeated Tommaso Ciampa to become the new NXT Champion. His first title defence occurred on Vengeance Day, where he emerged victorious against Santos Escobar. Breakker then had a successful team-up with Ciampa on the March 1 episode of NXT, defeating The Dirty Dawgz (Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode). This victory translated to their main roster debut on the March 7 episode of Raw, where Breakker and Ciampa secured another win. At Roadblock, Ziggler defeated Breakker and Ciampa in a Triple Threat Match, ending Breakker’s initial NXT Championship reign. However, two days later on Raw, Breakker bounced back, defeating Ziggler to claim the NXT Championship for a second time. His reign continued with a win against Gunther on the following day’s episode of NXT. Breakker’s storyline escalated as he feuded with Joe Gacy, who had kidnapped Breakker’s father, Rick Steiner. Their rivalry culminated in a match at Spring Breakin’, where Breakker emerged victorious. The feud persisted, leading to a rematch at In Your House, featuring the stipulation that the NXT Championship could change hands via disqualification. Breakker managed to avoid disqualification and defeat Gacy. His title defences continued, with Breakker successfully retaining the NXT Championship against Duke Hudson on the June 14 episode of NXT and Cameron Grimes at The Great American Bash. Following the match against Grimes, Breakker was attacked by JD McDonagh upon his debut. The story progressed further as NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate confronted Breakker at Worlds Collide, resulting in a title unification match, which Breakker won. Subsequently, Breakker defended the title against Ilja Dragunov and JD McDonagh in a Triple Threat Match at Halloween Havoc. On the November 15 episode of NXT, Breakker confronted Apollo Crews, setting up a championship match at NXT Deadline 2022, which Breakker won to retain his title. Following the match, he was attacked by Grayson Waller, a survivor of the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, setting the stage for a title match between Breakker and Waller at NXT New Year’s Evil 2023. Breakker won the match by countout after the ropes broke on Waller. Their rivalry continued with a Steel Cage rematch at Vengeance Day on February 4, which Breakker won. Afterward, Breakker was confronted by Carmelo Hayes, leading to a title match at Stand & Deliver on April 1, where Hayes defeated Breakker, ending his 362-day reign as NXT Champion.
