WWE Superstar Bron Breakker gets brutally honest about the expectations rising from his lineage (Exclusive)
Bron Breakker takes immense pride in being a second-generation WWE Superstar. He comes from a highly-respected lineage of in-ring performers and likes living up to the challenge.
Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner, which raises expectations for the budding star. However, he sees it as an opportunity to challenge himself and continue to improve as a top performer on WWE NXT 2.0.
He opened up about navigating his way in the business as a second-generation superstar during an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling. Breakker revealed that the standards have always been high for him and his brothers. He feels that the expectations surrounding him only push him to do better, and he is comfortable with the challenge. He was quoted as saying:
"The standards have always been high for myself and my brothers growing up. So, it is nothing really new to me or anything like that. The bar is high, it is what it is. I have to compete at a higher level than everybody else. I have to do things to a higher standard because it is expected out of me. I expect it out of myself. It has been that way pretty much my whole life. So, it is what it is. I welcome it as a challenge." [6:57 - 8:21]
