Bron Breakker Sets Sights on Bigger Prize Ahead of WrestleMania

Bron Breakker is headed to WrestleMania for the first time, defending his intercontinental championship.

What's at Stake for Bron Breakker?

He's set for bigger things, with the intercontinental title often serving as an audition for superstars with potential to carry the brand as world heavyweight champion. The intercontinental title has historically been a stepping stone for top talent, with recent holders Gunther and Jey Uso competing for the world heavyweight title at WrestleMania 41.

Who's Guiding Bron Breakker?

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman works closely with Breakker behind the scenes, a remarkable stamp of approval given Heyman's legendary client list, including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar. Bron Breakker told CBS Sports, "It's hard to predict where I'll be at the end or middle of this year, but I think we need to be talking about the world heavyweight championship at some point."

What Drives Bron Breakker?

Intensity is Breakker's most defining trait, with a vicious spear rivaled only by WWE and ECW alum Rhino, and the same intensity on the microphone. Breakker's ring gear and moveset pay homage to his father Rick Steiner and uncle Scott Steiner, with Breakker sourcing Scott's wisdom as he prepares for his eventual ascent. Scott Steiner's rapid rise as "Big Poppa Pump" in 1998 is not too dissimilar from Breakker's, who is only 14 months into his WWE main roster tenure, but they navigate very different environments. The modern WWE backstage scene is very polished, with a shift in workplace culture since the '90s, and Breakker is being molded for success, with many believing he's set for a world heavyweight title run. And with his first WrestleMania appearance looming, Bron Breakker is ready to take the next step, with his sights set on the world heavyweight championship. But for now, he's focused on defending his intercontinental championship, and proving himself as a top talent in the WWE. So what's next for Bron Breakker, as he looks to make a name for himself in the WWE, and follow in the footsteps of his father and uncle, who were most prominent as a tag team before splitting.
