2. Bron Breakker Comes To SmackDown

This will be especially smart if Bron Breakker slots in as a midcard heel.

He'd be an ideal follow up opponent for whomever supplants Logan Paul as United States Champ, and it's obvious WWE expects big things from Rick Steiner's kid the deeper we get into 2024. The fact Nick Aldis made a big song and dance about signing Bron exclusively bodes well too.

Special word for Nick, actually. He continues to excel in the GM role, and has managed to prove this writer wrong. A certain somebody (ahem) didn't think the classic General Manager thing would work in 2023/2024, but...it has, and Aldis is a huge reason why. The dude carries himself like management. It's easy to see why Triple H is so high on him.

Back to Breakker. Bron didn't have anything left to accomplish on NXT, so bringing him up to the main roster made sense. Fingers crossed he doesn't get lost in the mix due to 'Mania, but the guy's talented enough to make the most of this opportunity.

He'll be a nice addition to SmackDown.
