"He's a legitimate stud" - Top RAW Superstar could be the next Brock Lesnar, says Jim Ross
AEW veteran Jim Ross recently talked about a top WWE Superstar who has been on a roll lately, even comparing him to a multi-time world champion Brock Lesnar. This would be Bron Breakker.
At just 26 years old, the two-time NXT Champion has arrived on the main roster with a bang as he has been unstoppable recently. He has won his last seven singles matches, dominating his opposition. The only blemish on his record was his loss by disqualification after Ludwig Kaiser got involved in his match against Sheamus a few days ago on WWE RAW.
On a recent episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross spoke about Bron Breakker, calling him a great prospect. He likened him to Brock Lesnar, possibly in the sense that he was just a naturally gifted athlete. He talked about how Breakker had all the makings of a star and even came from a great wrestling family as he is the son of Rick Steiner.
"He's a great prospect. I mean, I don't know, you can compare him to, you know, (Brock) Lesnar maybe in some ways. But he's just a natural athlete, big and strong and I hope that he achieves greatness. He's from a great family and his dad was very underrated."
He continued by talking about how now it was all up to how WWE would build his character.
"But I like this kid, I think he's gonna be... It all depends on how they put the house together, how they build his foundation, and stuff like that. But they're doing some things with Bron Breakker... I'm not wild about the name but who cares what I think about his name? He's a stud, he's a legitimate stud and I think he stays healthy and stays sane, I think he'll do great."
Jim Ross recently addressed a potential move back to WWE from AEW
A few days ago on his podcast, Jim Ross talked about the possibility of him heading back to WWE after spending five years with All Elite Wrestling.
He mentioned how one never says never in this industry, but despite feeling like he could still contribute over there, he was happy with his current role in AEW and he was making the most of it.
"Well, you never say never. Quite frankly, you never say never... Especially in a business that has so few jobs available. So, that's not in my plans. You know, they've gone younger. Could I contribute? Of course, I could contribute, but that's just not in the plans right now. I love my role [with AEW]," Jim Ross said. [From 1:01:13 to 1:01:39]
Ross reportedly had signed a one-year extension deal with the Jacksonville-based promotion so it remains to be seen what his plans could be once this said deal expires. He could also contemplate retirement, especially after he recently missed some time due to his health.
