Shawn Michaels says Bron Breakker has more work to do in NXT, but he could potentially split time with the main roster.
Former NXT Champion Bron Breakker competed in the Men’s Royal Rumble match on Saturday, and he had an impressive performance. After the bout, he called the main roster his home and said he proved that he belonged. Breakker was highlighted in a video package on the following episode of WWE RAW, and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis claimed he got a call from Bron.
Speaking with Tim Battle and Eli on the Battleground Podcast, Shawn Michaels commented on Bron Breakker’s status in NXT.
“He may feel like that’s his home, but he’s still got work here in NXT to do, whether he likes it or not [laughs],” Shawn Michaels said. “So I’ll tell you this much, strange enough, that’s our job. Our job is to lose talent, but I gotta say, he’s one that I’m gonna have trouble letting him go. So look, I can assure that there is more left for Bron Breakker here in NXT, one way or another.
“He’s an incredibly talented, very gifted young man. Far as I’m concerned, he’s young and as we say, full of piss and vinegar. So if he wants to double-time, he can do it. But I’m not letting him go that easy.”
Breakker is set to compete in the finals of the Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic at NXT Vengeance Day on February 4.
