On a recent edition of his “My World” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett discussed Bron Breakker replacing Brock Lesnar at WWE Royal Rumble 2024, Jordynne Grace’s surprise appearance, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On WWE using Jordynne Grace in the Rumble: “It occurred to me, and then obviously, we’ll get into the men’s air in a second. But when I looked at it, there wasn’t the ‘Oh my gosh’ — and I’m just pulling a name out of that — ‘the Bushwackers!’ There were no surprise, legends or vets. I thought, okay, the TNA Women’s Champ [Jordynne Grace], I thought got a heck of a reaction. One, why not use multiple motions around the world to — not just have one but instead of using old vets, talent from yesteryear, start plugging in with [talents from other promotions]. Because the rest of the world — on the one hand, is enormous. On the other hand, it is a tight-knit community, and people are aware of promotions all over the world. So start plugging in talent from multiple promotions. I guess you could say, use the Forbidden Door across the board on both the men’s and women’s if you’re not going to use that. Because I thought they were lulls in both of them. Because it’s just hard.”
One Bron Breakker replacing Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble: “When he was right out of high school and college, he was texting me about, ‘Hey.’ I mean look, he’s got two brothers; so this is Rick Steiner’s kid, for those who don’t know. It’s his son. So there’s three boys there, Scott has two boys. So there’s five total boys. Out of the five, Bron’s the only one to my knowledge that really get bit by the bug. And man, he was bitten by the bug early. So that’s what’s in our DNA, at the end of the day. So for him to be bitten by the bug, and obviously really commit to this industry. And I mean, he loves it. In NXT, grinding away, doing what he needs to do, getting better each day. Obviously, we both know the folks down there that run it, you know. Is it perfect? No, but it is — what an opportunity.
“And he’s got the passion and drive that it takes. And so for him to work his way along and work his way along, and work his way along… A door was closed, it appears with the Brock situation. But what a door that was open for Bron. And he came in, and he seized it. And to me, it was just a matter of time. But the timing of all this. Can you imagine, old Bronson on the stage of WrestleMania with GUNTHER? And if GUNTHER gonna lose the title to somebody? At some point, Roman’s gotta lose, and GUNTHER’s gotta lose.”
In a recent episode of his “My World” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett discussed several topics related to the WWE Royal Rumble 2024 event. One of the highlights was the surprise appearance of Jordynne Grace, a talent from TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Wrestling.
Jarrett expressed his thoughts on the lack of surprise appearances by legends or veterans during the Royal Rumble. He suggested that instead of relying on old talents from the past, WWE should consider using talents from other promotions to create excitement and intrigue among fans. He specifically mentioned Jordynne Grace, the TNA Women’s Champion, who received a positive reaction from the audience. Jarrett believes that incorporating talents from different promotions would not only bring fresh faces to WWE but also tap into the global wrestling community’s awareness of various promotions.
Another topic discussed was Bron Breakker, who replaced Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble match. Bron Breakker, whose real name is Bronson Rechsteiner, is the son of Rick Steiner, a former professional wrestler. According to Jarrett, Bron Breakker showed a passion for wrestling from an early age and fully committed himself to the industry. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, Breakker continued to work hard and improve his skills in NXT (WWE’s developmental brand). Jarrett emphasized Breakker’s drive and dedication, stating that he was deserving of the opportunity presented to him.
Jarrett also mentioned the timing of Breakker’s rise in WWE. With Brock Lesnar’s departure, a door opened for Breakker to make a name for himself. Jarrett speculated about Breakker potentially facing GUNTHER (Walter Hahn), who currently holds the NXT Championship, at WrestleMania. He highlighted the possibility of Breakker becoming a significant player in WWE’s future and potentially dethroning Roman Reigns, who currently holds the Universal Championship.
The podcast episode also included a link to a video of the “My World” podcast, where listeners can watch the full discussion between Jeff Jarrett and his co-host. The video provides additional context and insights into the topics covered.
Overall, the podcast episode offers an inside look into the WWE Royal Rumble 2024 event, discussing the surprise appearance of Jordynne Grace and the rise of Bron Breakker as a promising talent in WWE.
