When watching the revamped NXT 2.0, there is nobody who looks earmarked for the main roster more than Bron Breakker. He has the look, intensity, and in-ring skills destined for Monday or Friday nights. It is only a matter of time for the son of Rick Steiner as he continues to tear through NXT as the new NXT Champion.

Each year there are always a few NXT wrestlers who arrive in the Royal Rumble match, even if it does not signal an immediate call-up to the main roster. As NXT Champion, a surprise entry into the Royal Rumble would add Breakker to the list of Andrade Almas and Pete Dunne as current champions in NXT who made their first main roster appearance in the 30-man battle royal.

The Royal Rumble is the perfect place for Breakker to arrive, as a short, intense run in the match is the perfect way to introduce himself to the bulk of WWE's audience. Bron Breakker has the potential to be a WrestleMania main eventer before long, and there is no better way to introduce him to the broader WWE Universe than an appearance in the Royal Rumble match.
