15 Times WWE Stars Made Cameos BEFORE They Were Famous
12. Bron Breakker
Right, so everybody reading this surely agrees that Bron Breakker must've been late to the makeup chair. His zombie look at WrestleMania Backlash 2021 didn't pop the same way others playing the undead parts did, and it certainly did Bron no favours that he was standing next to one of the better examples for this photoshoot. If anything, Breakker just kinda looks like he hasn't slept.
Poor show.
The current Raw sensation was another one of the zombies during Damian Priest vs. The Miz at 'Mania Backlash that year. Weirdly, he didn't really get a mention when folks were recapping who wore prosthetics/make up on the show, but that might have something to do with the fact he was one of the freshest faces on the WWE scene at the time; Bron had only signed a deal in February, and he wouldn't properly debut as a full-time character on NXT until the following September.
He'd gone from trying to break into the NFL as a bone-crunching brute to playing the role of the undead on WWE pay-per-view. That was quite the baptism by fire for somebody so new to this pro wrestling biz. Sure, he'd grown up around it thanks to his father Rick and uncle Scott Steiner, but...is anyone really prepared to be a zombie under the watchful gaze (and crazy whims) of latter-day Vince? Probably not.
Thankfully, Backlash 2021 will be the last time Breakker ever has to dress up as a zombie. Triple H has much grander plans for him now he's aligned with Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed on flagship show Raw. There's nothing (un)dead about Bron's future!
