10 New Directions For WWE In 2024
8. Bron Breakker = Paul Heyman Guy
Right, enough about corporate restructuring and onto WWE's core on-screen product. NXT is part of that lineup, and Triple H will be banking on his old pal Shawn Michaels prepping several brand stalwarts for a leap up the ladder to Raw or SmackDown. Bron Breakker is one of the leading candidates for such a promotion.
He might not be flying solo.
WWE appeared to be testing the waters for more when they had Paul Heyman manage Breakker on the 10 October edition of NXT. This marked the first time Heyman had done anything outside The Bloodline in years. Sure, John Cena's involvement with Bron's opponent Carmelo Hayes meant there was still a little Roman Reigns influence, but not much.
Breakker becoming the next "Paul Heyman Guy" would give him an immediate jumpstart on the main roster. It turned out to be a curse for superior workers like Cesaro, but that was then and this is now. Rick Steiner's kid could come under Paul E's wing.
