Bron Breakker: Sheamus Gave Me My REAL WWE Welcome!
Bron Breakker, a name whispered with anticipation as a future WrestleMania headliner, recently shared a pivotal moment in his WWE journey. While championships are milestones, Breakker credits an unexpected veteran for truly welcoming him to the main roster: Sheamus.
Sheamus: The Ultimate WWE Test
In an interview with ESPN Unsportsmanlike, Breakker revealed that his series of matches with Sheamus served as his true initiation. "I think my ‘Welcome to the WWE’ moment was probably when I worked with Sheamus," Breakker stated. He emphasized Sheamus's extensive experience, widespread respect, and physical approach as key factors in this transformative experience.
"Sheamus is a guy that’s been around for 10-15+ years, a guy that is very well respected and someone who is really physical and takes a lot of pride in his work," Breakker added, highlighting the impact Sheamus had on him.
A Future Hall of Famer's Influence
Breakker further showered praise on the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, confidently labeling him a future Hall of Famer. "He’s well respected by the entire locker room and the entire audience, he’s no doubt going to be a hall of famer one day. He’s someone that makes you earn it, he’s really physical out there. I obviously enjoy that type of combat sports, I love getting in there. He’s someone that’s really fun to work with, he’s really fun to watch.”
Breakker vs. Sheamus: A Defining Rivalry
Since Breakker's debut on WWE Raw, the two powerhouses have collided multiple times. One notable encounter involved Breakker defending his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Sheamus in 2024 – a title that has eluded Sheamus throughout his illustrious career.
Breakker's journey continues under a bright spotlight, with significant expectations riding on his performances, especially at upcoming events like WWE Wrestlepalooza. The influence of veterans like Sheamus will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping his future in WWE.
