1. Get Bron To Promo Class

For generations, managers have served several important roles, not the least of which has been to be the mouthpiece for wrestlers who are less gifted on the microphone.

With Paul Heyman wielding the stick for the lead heel faction (that is still nameless) on Raw, WWE needs to think long and hard before giving the mic to Bron Breakker for an extended period.

Monday was not a strong night for Breakker on the mic. He got in Roman Reigns’ face and told him to “get it through your thick skull” that no one wanted him around anymore. He was an “old dog” who was last relevant five years ago. And Heyman will never stab Bron in the back because he holds value.

This was a poorly delivered paint-by-numbers heel promo, definitely not his strongest work. It’s a shame, because this is a prime opportunity for Breakker to step up in Seth Rollins’ absence, and this was a clear miss.
