12 Secret Mistakes You Didn't Realise WWE Have Already Made In 2024

12. What Was The Point Of The Bron Breakker Bidding War?

All credit to WWE, they didn't half make a big deal out of the main roster arrivals of both Bron Breakker and Jade Cargill earlier this year.

Over the course of those first few months of 2024, SmackDown and Raw General Managers Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce, respectively, did all they could to convince both stars to sign on the dotted line for their brand.

And in the end, this pair of superstar powerhouses ended up on the blue show, with Aldis showing off his new big name signings like a proud father. 

But then, despite managing to retain the services of Cargill, Aldis would go and lose his Breakker to the red brand in the 2024 Draft.

What?!

In kayfabe, Aldis and Pearce surely had to know that another Draft was likely on its way in the coming months, but still insisted on desperately trying to get these incoming free agents to join their team before 'Mania 40. And after finally convincing Breakker to become a SmackDown guy and just chucking him in a few squash matches, Aldis couldn't even find a way to squeeze him onto that 'Show of Shows' card. 

So, why not just wait until Draft season to try landing the former NXT Champion and not waste so much time and energy on a bidding war that would be rendered pointless just a few months later?

The more you think about this bidding mess, the more the whole thing just makes both GMs look like idiots.
