Shawn Michaels has expressed that he sees Bron Breakker as possessing all the required qualities to make a huge splash in the WWE landscape.
In a new interview conducted with The Athletic, the Heartbreak Kid didn’t hold back in lauding Breakker, stating his conviction that the young talent “has all the tools to replicate the success of the likes of Goldberg, Steve Austin, and Roman Reigns.”
Some standout remarks from the interview can be read below:
On the topic of Breakker’s potential: “He surely has all it takes to reach the heights of iconic figures like Goldberg, Steve Austin or Roman Reigns. His talents are as abundant as they come. His coachability was what impressed me the most. He trusted me and our process. Sometimes, gifted athletes tend to have preconceived notions of the system due to past achievements. Thankfully, he was never that way.”
Regarding Breakker outperforming his father and uncle: “While I respect both Scotty and Rick deeply, he’s transcended them both already in the nicest possible sense. He’s capable of overpowering a person with just his bare hands, yet he still opts to peacefully coexist with us all.”
In a separate interview with PEOPLE, promoting the WWE SummerSlam 2024 pay-per-view event, Bayley discussed her ability to influence the younger generation, her childhood fascination with Ivory, Gail Kim, Lita and Trish Stratus, among other things.
The highlights of this interview are available below:
Reflecting on her admiration for Ivory, Gail Kim, Lita and Trish Stratus while growing up: “They were such trailblazers. What an incredibly fun era. Those female athletes were remarkably formidable. The diversity among them was something that captivated me.”
About getting the chance to motivate the youth now: “The success stories of all [the younger members of the women’s roster] validate their presence here, they are all champions in their own right. To think I was somebody they looked up to is humbling. I feel immensely proud that I can now offer the same inspiration for the next generation. It’s a remarkable feeling.”
