Bron Breakker To Turn On Seth Rollins, Stay With Paul Heyman (WWE News)
WWE has major plans for Bron Breakker to become the next 'Big Dog'. Faction split already teased.
Bodyslam.net's Viper is reporting that Bron Breakker will eventually turn on faction leader Seth Rollins but stay glued by Paul Heyman's side after he does it. There's currently no known timeline on this, so pinning down exactly when the rift will happen is difficult, but it'd be a real surprise if WWE boss Triple H jumped the gun on it any time soon.
After all, Seth and Heyman only recruited Breakker shortly after WrestleMania 41. There, the duo revealed their masterplan to stump CM Punk and Roman Reigns. Overnight, Hunter schemed bodyguards like Breakker and Bronson Reed who'd add to the package whilst boosting their own prospects on the roster.
Thus far, it has worked a treat, but nothing lasts forever - that's especially true in the ever-changing landscape of WWE television. Company writers were almost definitely working on an exit strategy for the ex-NXT standout Bron as soon as he'd been revealed as Seth's latest ally on-screen. The same is likely true for Bronson too, although there's been no backstage news on any plans of a turn for him.
Full creative focus is on cementing the trio's (quartet if you include Heyman) dominance on Raw before planting more seeds ahead of a Breakker split. In truth, some seeds have already been planted on the Monday night flagship here or there.
WWE Has Dropped Recent Hints On Raw
Breakker and Reed began questioning Seth's leadership skills on the 30 June episode of Raw. Rollins hightailed it out of the arena from top babyfaces that same night, which meant Bron and Bronson went into their main event tag-team bout vs. Sami Zayn and Penta without their leader. Paul Heyman was at ringside, but he could only do so much.
Paul E is hardly the most potent physical threat as a character. He's more of a ringside strategist than another physical weapon, which is something Breakker teased bringing up during pre-match backstage promos. He did not look chuffed that Rollins wouldn't be there.
Fans should expect to see more of these dropped hints in coming weeks and months as WWE readies itself for a Bron Breakker turn. It is, however, interesting that he'll stay with Heyman. Does that mean Paul's alliance with Seth is only temporary, or could he somehow juggle both personalities?
A turn on Rollins would imply that Breakker is set to go babyface, but maybe that isn't the case. One thing's for sure: WWE has everybody's attention with this simmering story.
