Since the WWE Draft, “WWE RAW” has been invigorated with fresh talent, bringing in stars like Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov. Their recent confrontation on the show has sparked significant attention, particularly from wrestling veterans. On a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio,” WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray shared his thoughts on the match and Breakker’s potential future in WWE.
“So far? Two thumbs up on Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov from me,” Bully Ray remarked, highlighting Breakker’s exceptional intensity in the ring. “I’m really liking what I’m seeing, especially – not especially from, but Bron is truly sticking out because of his level of intensity. I mean, my god, it’s amazing.”
The Turnbuckle Frankensteiner Homage
Bully Ray particularly praised Breaker for killing the turnbuckle Frankensteiner, a feat that pays homage to his uncle Scott Steiner, who famously used him as a finisher during his tag team days with Breaker’s father, Rick Steiner. It matches the heritage, and adds a touch of nostalgia for longtime fans
“This guy is so fast, so strong, so unpredictable! That Frankensteiner was so fast off the top rope last night, and perfection, I was like, ‘My God!’ I mean, but what do you expect? “He’s a little shorter than his father and uncle, which would give him incredible speed.”
Cyborg slapstick
Breaker’s combination of speed, strength and technical prowess sets him apart. Bully Ray pointed out that despite the similarities between his father and uncle, Breaker has the edge due to his slightly smaller size, which increases his agility and speed This difference could prove to be a huge advantage when who continues to grow in the WWE.
Bully Ray also drew a comparison between Breakker and AEW’s Wardlow, noting how Breakker’s current trajectory mirrors Wardlow’s rise to prominence before his TNT Championship reign. The parallel suggests that Breakker could be on a similar path to becoming a major player in WWE.
