4 mistakes WWE must not make with Bron Breakker on SmackDown
WWE has entered a new era. Triple H is leading the charge as Chief Content Officer, and the promotion is part of the TKO Holdings Group umbrella. In this new era, the business has been booming, and the company is reaching unchartered territories.
The company has a wealth of stars who have been on television recently. This includes legends such as John Cena, Sheamus, Triple H, and The Rock, along with top modern names such as Roman Reigns, LA Knight, Seth Rollins, and Cody Rhodes.
Things can't always remain status quo, however. Superstars such as John Cena, The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins are currently away from television, allowing other stars to step up. One name many expect to break out in a big way is Bron Breakker, who was recently signed to SmackDown.
This article will look at Bron on the blue brand and dive into mistakes Triple H and the Sports Entertainment juggernaut must avoid making with him moving forward. Breakker has all of the potential in the world to become a major star, but he has to be used correctly. What must be avoided?
Below are four mistakes WWE must not make with Bron Breakker on SmackDown:
#4. They can't give him too much too soon!
Too much too soon is a common issue in wrestling's past. This could be a problem in several ways. The said talent may not know how to deal with overnight fame, which might lead to a drop-off in his performances.
There have also been times when a wrestler was pushed too strongly and quickly, and fans completely rejected the idea. Hence, it will be crucial for Triple H to avoid giving Bron Breakker too much too soon.
Granted, considering his prodigious talent, the temptation to skyrocket the former NXT Champion into the main event may be tough to resist, it would be wise on The Game's part to take his time and allow Bron Breakker to develop and adjust to the lifestyle first.
#3. Bron Breakker can't lose too soon!
While pushing him too hard would be a mistake, Triple H and WWE management should avoid doing the opposite. It would be unwise for Bron Breakker to go out on Friday Night SmackDown and lose any time soon.
So far, The Big Bad Booty Nephew has wrestled on WWE SmackDown three times. He first defeated Dante Chen in about a minute. After that, Bron defeated Xyon Quinn in a matter of seconds. He most recently managed to destroy Cameron Grimes in under 90 seconds.
Three wins are great, but the company must ensure the momentum stays steady for the foreseeable future. He might not need a Goldberg-level streak, but Bron needs to look extremely credible, and dominating victories would certainly do the deal for him.
#2. WWE must not avoid giving him mic time!
Bron Breakker struck oil on WWE NXT by teaming up with Baron Corbin. The two didn't seem as if they'd be a natural fit together, yet they ended up sharing incredible chemistry. This extends both to their in-ring work and beyond.
One of the notable factors that made the two work together was their work on the microphone. While Bron was never bad in such segments, he showed his versatility while teaming up with the former WWE United States Champion.
Now that it is clear how good of a talker Bron is, the Triple H-led WWE Creative must ensure he has a microphone in hand regularly. He is far too good of a talker to be an angry, silent wrestler who does the talking with his fists. Breakker will connect better with the audience if he gets enough time on the microphone.
#1. He can't join The Bloodline saga too early!
The Bloodline saga is arguably the greatest storyline of all time. The Samoan faction has featured the likes of Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, The Usos, Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman, The Rock, and Tama Tonga in the past three years.
Notably, Bron Breakker has already had some loose ties with the group. Paul Heyman represented Bron last year during a big-time match on WWE NXT. The two were then shown shaking hands upon Bron joining the main roster.
While it is a natural fit to have him work with The Wiseman and The Bloodline, the move shouldn't be rushed. The Bloodline saga has other layers developing right now. Heyman, either adding Bron or leaving to manage Breakker will be a big deal, it just wouldn't fit with the current direction.
