Bron Breakker comments on how he handled the challenge of being the face of NXT's new branding
Reigning NXT Champion Bron Breakker has commented on how he felt about being advertised as the face of WWE's re-branding of NXT.
Breakker had not been in the wrestling business for long when he received his big push. Before his WWE career, he was a football player in the NFL. Once he signed with WWE, he climbed the ladder very quickly in the developmental brand. He captured the NXT Championship by defeating Ciampa within months of his first match.
During a recent interview with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, the 24-year-old spoke about his time in NXT. He stated that he's not intimidated by the grandeur of the industry, despite the fact he is still a newcomer.
"Personally, I feel that the only way to learn is to be thrown out there and see what you can do," said Breakker. "I have been training out there at the Performance Center for maybe around six months, I am not really sure. But in those situations, you turn back on your training. You turn back to what you know, what has been taught. And that is all I did, just turned back to my training." (38:05 onwards)

In the same interview, Bron Breakker spoke highly of his uncle Scott Steiner. He also discussed the idea of teaming up with the latter for a tag team contest.
The Steiner Brothers are one of the most iconic duos in pro-wrestling. Individually, Scott Steiner is known as one of the most innovative performers in the history of the business. Breakker stated that he would love to stand in Big Poppa Pump's corner for a match. That being said, he's not sure whether a tag match with his uncle will happen.
"It would be fun. I don't know, never say never I guess," said Breakker. "You know I would love to do something with him but I do not know. Let's see. " (43:03 onwards)
Rick and Scott Steiner were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year by Bron Breakker himself.
