26-year-old WWE star names Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and CM Punk as some of his mentors
WWE's landscape shifted when Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and many more went on hiatus due to different reasons. Meanwhile, the second-generation star Bron Breakker addressed the locker room and named some of his mentors behind the scenes.
In 2021, Bron Breakker debuted for WWE's developmental brand and became the face of the brand for years to come as the NXT Champion. The second-generation star is still learning and evolving on the main roster, as he's yet to cement his name and legacy as a performer in the Stamford-based promotion.
In an interview with Chris Vannini on Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast, the host asked Bron Breakker about his mentors in the promotion. The second-generation star spoke highly of WWE's locker room and primarily named Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and CM Punk as some who have helped and mentored him.
"You know, Roman Reigns has been really great. You know, Paul Heyman. It's really the locker room, man. The locker room has welcomed me with open arms and any kind of questions or anything I've, CM Punk's another one. I mean everybody has been extremely welcoming of me. Everyone's willing to help and excited for me. Everybody wants to see everybody do well and sucessed and it's a cool thing," Breakker said. [From 01:22:32 to 01:23:07]
