During the Yahoo interview, Breakker made it very clear that he wants to rise to the top. He stated that the expectations and hype around him are high as he is Rick Steiner's son but he's strictly focused on his work.
“I don’t really pay attention to the noise. I don’t get a big head or read too much into the hype. I have had high expectations my whole life in athletics, being Rick Steiner’s son, I have had to live up to that my whole life so it’s really nothing new. Sure, the stakes are higher now because this is the profession my family was in and they laid the groundwork for me years ago, but I just want to make my family proud, make this company proud.”

Breakker also pointed out that he met The Beast Incarnate on an episode of RAW in 2017 and labeled the latter as "an animal".
"I met him, I want to say like 2017, maybe or something like that. I went backstage to a RAW when I was in college. I met him there, but as a performer, I haven’t ran into him. Yeah, I’d love to work with Brock. He is an animal. I think he would kind of like [Roderick Strong], elevate me. You know, force me to elevate and bring my game up as well. I think Brock would do the same thing, and I think it would be a war." --- Bron Breakker said.
