Fantasy Booking Triple H's FIRST WWE WrestleMania

11. Bron Breakker Vs. Damian Priest

Triple H doesn't f*ck around.

Well, he does - one need only watch his glacial, pretentious early 2000s output for proof of that - but as NXT booker, he was bold when introducing new acts. The philosophy was all the more remarkable given those sort of acts were usually repackaged or even buried to rid them of the dreaded indie guy stigma. Kevin Owens, Shinsuke Nakamura and the Undisputed Era all received grand introductions and were immediately positioned as game-changers; that way, fans were encouraged to invest in them, deeply, from the off.

If HHH continues this approach, Bron Breakker is the man to get the rocket strapped to him; even if it has dulled his star, NXT 2.0 basically exists as his introductory curriculum to life as a top WWE act. He is learning to act and emote, and again, it isn't flattering, but it's intended to make him.

One bold route HHH could take is having Bron threaten to break the Royal Rumble elimination record before one of the men he eliminates - Damian Priest, a talent Triple H is besotted with - deprives him of the accomplishment by reentering the ring to eliminate him, thus preserving the record for future use and setting up a match at 'Mania.

Also, WWE is weirdly intent on booking heels to taunt Breakker psychologically, and Priest fits that bill.
