"Student of the Game" - Triple H praises WWE Hall of Famer's son; hypes upcoming event
Triple H took some time this afternoon to give high praise to current NXT Champion Bron Breakker and others ahead of tonight's NXT 2.0: Heatwave event.
The Game has been on a roll since resuming his role as Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and becoming WWE's Head of Creative. However, it's no secret that NXT holds a special place in the Hall of Famer's heart.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, The King of Kings praised each competitor involved in the upcoming event and gave a special acknowledgment of Bron Breakker's contributions to the brand itself. Calling him a true "student of the game", and someone who stepped up to the enormous challenge of being the "top dog".
"The list of #WWENXT Champions features competitors throughout the entirety of our industry's landscape. @bronbreakkerwwe, to many, was thrust into his role as "top dog" but has grown immensely as not only the person with the title, but a student of the game. #NXTHeatwave" - Triple H, Twitter

Triple H's comments regarding Bron Breakker came at the end of a long Twitter thread where he hyped up each match taking place at the Tuesday Night event; and the superstars participating in them. The Game stated that while he knows the WWE Universe is extremely excited about recent changes to the main roster, he wanted to highlight the "great work" being done in NXT.
This included: Mandy Rose, Carmelo Hayes, Santos Escobar, and others.
"There has been a lot of excitement around the @WWE Universe on #WWERaw and #Smackdown... but wanted to share thoughts on the great work the talent and coaches @WWENXT have been doing and the matches at #NXTHeatwave tonight on @USA_Network #WWENXT"

Consistency is a characteristic of any great performer. @Carmelo_WWE has been just that. As #WWENXT North American Champion, he's been equal parts entertaining and impressive in the ring. @VinciWWE knows what it takes to win, and I think this match will be special. #NXTHeatwave https://t.co/xdkqHAmegF
No matter how experienced you are, leading a group of your peers is difficult. You have to be equal parts teammate and visionary. BOTH @EscobarWWE and @TonyDangeloWWE have thrived in that role and have discovered a lot about themselves in this process. #NXTHeatwave https://t.co/1qE01CAeVJ
You don't fight with anyone harder than your best friend. (Right, @ShawnMichaels?) For both @CoraJadeWWE @roxanne_wwe, the sky is the limit and while this match may seem a personal vendetta, I think it is just the beginning of another fabled tale of the #WWENXT Women's Division. https://t.co/x2mp1gTxQU
.@ZoeyStarkWWE's week is packed. Not only does she tag with @nikkita_wwe in the #WomensTagTitles tournament on #Smackdown, but tonight she faces @WWE_MandyRose for the #WWENXT Women's Championship. Another massive step in her growth and development...
...but since coming to #WWENXT, @WWE_MandyRose has demonstrated to everyone the kind of dedication she has always brought to her career. In what is now a record reign, she has solidified her position at the top of women's division and for good reason. #NXTHeatwave https://t.co/VKei9zwIkU
All the while, @Jordan_Devlin1 continues to level up. The audience is familiar with his skill in the ring, his journey through @NXTUK and the passion and guts he brings to each performance. He's entered into a new landscape & embraced it. I'm excited to see these two tonight. https://t.co/7yztKOIhK4
