10 More Wrestling Matches Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth
7. Bron Breakker Challenges For NXT Gold After Wrestling Debut A Year Earlier - Halloween Havoc, 2021
Say what you want about the newly revamped NXT 2.0, but the handling of the newest face to pop up in the brand's main event scene has been handled and presented to near-perfection since breaking out onto the scene on night one of this multi-coloured change-up.
Yet, perhaps the most frightening part of Bron Breakker's rise to the top of the card is the sheer speed of how he's gone about it. Sure, having Steiner blood coursing through your veins is never a bad thing to have up your sleeve, but one glance at Breakker's record coming into Halloween Havoc 2021 is enough to impress even the most pessimistic of developmental devotees.
Since making his professional wrestling debut in October 2020, Bronson Rechsteiner has spent a few months on the indies before being signed by WWE in February. He's since gone on to wrestle on TV just six (!) times, with the last of that series of contests being a beautifully brutal fight over the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc vs. Tommaso Ciampa.
Professional athlete background or not (being a former NFL fullback), Breakker's rise has been nothing short of phenomenal.
