it was great to see Rick Breakker embrace him after show went off the air
haha Rick Breakker. Very good sir
🤣🤣😂
When will Uncle Scotty Breaker turn up
That was the first time his dad was at one of his matches. That was very cool.
@@TheFinishedArticle not on good terms with wwe so probably never lol
Rick Steiner and Bron barking with the crowd during the post match was pretty cool.
Breakker is athletic, talented, ans crazy strong. That Alabama Slam on the table looked brutal, and every time he picked up Ciampa he looked in total control with barely no effort showing. The guy's going places.
This kid feels like the biggest must see rookie the industry has seen since Brock Lesnar and Okada.
Also, he said the black singlet was a tribute to his dad.
Okada? I don't recall that. Sure maybe. I just remember him and Storm on Impact lol Dude is great now of course.
@@MilkmanC yeah no one saw him coming at all least not being misused in TNA
@@leelohaskin7941 that's what I thought
@@leelohaskin7941 Okada is only over in Japan and to hardcore fans nobody outside of them cares about Okada
@@joeyskywalker1322 Nobody except hardcore fans care about any wrestler. Okada was clearly a prodigiously talented wrestler after returning from excursion, and people who cared about good wrestling in the modern age obviously considered him must watch since he consistently had the best main event matches of the decade. Obviously people not watching the show he was on didn't care, just like people who don't watch NXT don't care about Bron Breakker. Neither guy would attract a huge crowd on the street or get a huge pop if they showed up at most random RAWs or SmackDowns.
This guys has no business being this charismatic and good on the mic this early in his career. I know people might shit on me for this but I like him more than other rookies like dante martin, hook, Dominic mysterio etc
No one is going to shit on you.
Dante hook and mysterio are all solid and can be great but none of them strike me as a main event draw.
@@jgeorge2693 they're workhorse midcarders at best imo and there's nothing wrong with that. Guys like shelton and chavo made a decent career despite not being the main draws of a show.
I don't understand why people are so into Hook. I feel he's trying so hard with his facials to look mean or swarmy. Bron on the other hand is so much more believable.
@@danbaby2740 it originally started because he never talked, got involved etc. Just the mystery of it all. Following up a year of anticipation, with one of the best debut performances in years, in his first time in a match ever, got people understandably excited imo.
@@danbaby2740 he looks like one of the skinny Gotti sons with old school Justin Beiber hair - the fact that grown men are making him out to be a big deal just shows you how cultish the AEW fans truly are lol
Breakker is awesome. His matches are so entertaining.
Only NXT match I have ever (probably will ever ) watched, it was a really entertaining match
@DIO he was football player so saying they all juiced
It’s Rex Steiner to you
@RICO Yeah it was a weird comment, but still to this day it is the only NXT match I have watched . My fandom is now is WM, late 70s to 2006 and some occasional clips from RAW, Smackdown or AEW if something very interesting is happening.
Rex Steiner is a beast plain and simple he knows what he can do in the ring he deserves this he put on one hell of a performance both men did Ciampa did his thing he was incredible as well nice seeing Rick Steiner after his sons match to embrace him after Rick Steiner is one of my favorite wrestlers back in the 90s & early 2000s
Ciampa made him look good. He’s been an mvp in the new nxt
@DIO they should all take them
@@BSultimate Not if you value your later years…
@@stevonwhite8933 yeah but entertainment
Bron Breakker, Montez Ford, Hook and Walter make me happy to be a wrestling fan
Shibata in NJPW ?
@@johngallagher72 WHO??
@@johngallagher72 Who??
@@johngallagher72 Don’t listen to the goofs in the replies. Shibata is a legend and no amount of Western centrism will change that.
@@twocentsmiguel The majority of Americans do not follow Japanese wrestling. It's not exactly easy for the general public to see. You cannot be shocked when a lot of people say "who's that?".
Bron's got next. It's very obvious the kid is going to be an absolute star if he wants it. He has the intangible 'it' factor and the pedigree does not hurt either. Wish the young man nothing but the best.
It also depends on this company to make him one and that hasn’t been the case a lot. Triple H should run his own promotion not with the wwe
@@Chozin1 Honestly when it comes to big muscle strong guys, WWE knows how to make them. It's Vince's wet dream to push a big guy to the top.
@@Chozin1 Are you kidding? If triple H ran it guys like Gargano would be having competitive matches with this guy. This guy should be squashing the Gargano and Adam Coles of the world not putting on competitive matches.
I love how Vince disrespected the old NXT.
According to an interview he did, Bron Breakker was actually Rex’s idea, figured he wanted to try and forge his own path and not rely on his surname to get by.
And we still call him Steiner
You are witnessing the birth of the star who will be in The Marine 5, 6, and 7 movies and a reboot of 12 Rounds
I normally don't care what a wrestler wears to the ring, but, I think it would be awesome if Bron Breaker comes out wearing a hood made of chainmail!!!
He probably will at some point. The tights he wore for the title win were a throwback to the gear his dad wore when he won the US title. He'll eventually wear some Poppa Pump throwback gear.
didn't Steiner use that idea from his valet, Midaja? I vaguely remember her starting to wear that out the the ring, then a couple weeks later Steiner had it on his head.
Yeah like his uncle? There’s a reason why he didn’t use the steiner name.
With a dog collar? The dog faced Freakzilla? 😜🤔
@@Thebestoutthere Vince never really gave a shit about roids. lol
Bronn's dad, Rick Breakker and his uncle, Scott Breakker were my favourite tag team.
I loved the Breakker Brothers! Ha.
I remember when Scott would hit the Frankenbreakker.
The breakker retakker
Scott’s Breakker Math promo was my favorite
Well luckily we got over obsessing over the name choice and how they'd "fuck it up". Dude is legit and his standing back flip is ridiculous. Bright future in wrestling whether in WWE or anywhere he wants.
Scott use to do it as a powerslam.
people got over it, because it was revealed that it was his own idea. they cannot blame WWE solely for that so everyone stopped crying
His first promo with LA Knight, the second I seen his face Steiner was the first thought I had. It was a great match. Never watched more than 2 minutes of NXT. That was overall a pretty good show.
Bron Steiner have had a few matches on the Indies with his uncle Scott managing him (a lot of ppl don’t know that) so I’m not surprised he’s catching on quick
Breakker.
@@MakingMovesMajor Rex Steiner
@@BSultimate Breakker. Smark.
this was his 14th career wrestling match
he looked like it's his 104th match, at least
That’s absolutely insane. I need to watch more of this.
He's probably been learning to wrestle since he was a little kid though.
Well, using Goldberg math, that means he's 154-0. Ha.
Steiner vs Walter will be insane
they shouldn't see each other at least until summer, let the guy gain some experience first
@@JaculaDudek the problem is a lot of the experienced people in nxt were fired or he already wrestled. Gargano. roddy. Ciampa.
Walter would be a good match for him
@@jgeorge2693 Roddy for the title is a different match, let's say for winter, at Mania weekend, perhaps another match with Ciampa, since Bron will be defending the story will be different, minor challengers like perhaps LA Knight or Grimes on weeklies, and bam, there you go, it's summer you can use Walter (assuming he won't be on main shows)
Rex Steiner and Austin Theory are my two favorites to watch in the WWE right now. Both remind me of a young Batista/Orton/Cena.
I’d also add Grayson Waller to the list. That kid has boatloads of potential and has really surprised me since the relaunch.
@@twocentsmiguel I agree
Agreed
@@twocentsmiguel does 31 count as kid?
agreed
Only thing missing was a heel manager with a tennis racquet at ringside.
The young talent for the next generation on both sides in
Bron Breakker
MJF
Hook
Walter
Gable Stevenson (potential)
So much potential there
Don’t forget Austin Theory. He’s only 24.
@@jgeorge2693 fair enough
I love how Bron got pushed to the moon right off the bat ever since NXT got rebranded.
They built the rebrand around him. The nxt colors match his regular singlet
makes you think if triple h was still in charge and the heart thing never happened, would Bron had been pushed the same? I highly doubt it.
@@VSEntertainment1 with most of the NXT performers booted out, I highly believe his development would be better with HHH around
As long as i see him do math im all for bron
Bron Breaker is definitely the next Brock Lesnar he definitely reminds me of his dad Rick Steiner
They’re not going to change his name. Vince loves those type of names, see Hulk Hogan, Roman Reigns, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Bron Breaker. It’s par for the course
“Alliterations, pal!”
HIS NAME RULES!!!
BRONSON - BREAKKER OF BODIES!!
As opposed to "Jungle Boy" and "Trent?" and "The Blade"
The great state of confusion? That's an odd way to say California lol
Ciampa vs Breakker II, The Rematch as well as Thee Definitive End of Triple H's Vision of NXT, "NXT 1.5".
My dad hasn’t watched since wcw and walked by the tv sat down and said that’s gotta be one of the steiners boys I said yes sir your correct 🤘🏻
I'm convinced the Steiners contributed to some of the best matches in the WWF as a tag team.
The lineage continues and couldn't be better.
actually it can be better - Bronson isn't the only son of Rick. Rick has other two sons; Scotty has two as well. That's 5 different second-generation Steiners. However, from what I've seen, only Bronson look "like a Steiner", others are either too young at the moment or just look like they would pursue career somewhere not-sport-related (which is fine, not everybody has to be a wrestler)
Breakker from the State of Confusion would be fucking epic 😂
Good call Corny
At the Royal Rumble have him announced as a Steiner and pay whatever it cost to get Welcome to the Jungle as his intro.
In aew he would of lost to Darby by now
Cries in powerhouse Hobbs
Na he would lose to Marco stunt
Once he gets to the main roster he'll be jobbing to the little person stomp...
Or Taz's son
Dont worry he'll probably loose to Jinder Mahal before that for no reason
Laugh if you will, but in my opinion NXT should’ve given LA Knight (Eli Drake) Bron’s push. LA Knight can work, talk, sell, and acts like a top guy.
AGREED! Eli Drake (LA Knight) reminds me of a modern day Paul Orndorff.
I love Eli but Knight is 39. Breakker is 24.
Eli can still be a star imo but breakker has a higher ceiling.
@J George that’s why they should’ve pushed him first. They could get 5 years out of the guy. Bron’s still young. He could wait a bit.
i wished LA Knight had won it before Brekker but i doubt he'd win it now that wwe is more focused on their younger talent like brekker, grayson and theory
They gave him the million dollar championship lol
Now, I wanna see Travis illustrate Corny watching A Knight's Tale.LOL
There was one with Edge as a knight and Roman as a dragon, with Corny looking like Edge's squire.
I would love to see him on the main roster as Rex Stiener, with his dad or uncle as his manager. I miss his uncles rambling and or insane promos.
They are not changing his name, now you smarks be quiet and get over it.
Scott Steiner will never be on wwe tv ever again with how much shit he's said about wwe. They had him banned from the hall of fame before.
@@MakingMovesMajor I love that my little opinion on what I would like to see made you so angry. I know I won't get what I want from the WWE, I rarely do.
@@Yodagamer1 I know, but I can dream of what I would like to see.
@@RoyOrbisonsElvisTape Who's mad?
Ciampa needs more credit for helping build breaker up brilliant
“From the great state of… confusion!”
🤣
I'm about to enter the great state of confusion
Always thought he had at least a 66 2/3rd chance of winning this title
Put this guy on the main roster. I love this guy!
calm down. they changed NXT to give new guys like that a tryout. let him grown into the part.
Not yet but they are going in the right direction. No more 5'8 average Joes. Just let people like this be on the roster. Separate the wrestler from the audience in a visual way.
@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Lol sorry, I get carried away some times
@@dosm11 no problems, bro. But I get it, it's rare to see guys we can get excited too like this guy. He has it.
So happy for the kid. Carry on that Steiner style 👏
He doesn't want to be a Steiner....he wants to make his own way.
And he has done absolutely nothing to distance himself from being a Steiner.
his dad was there lol
I liked how Bron used both his father's and uncle's finishers to win this match, that was pretty dope
He's great. His name tho. Geez just give him the Steiner already. Sounds like a German child named him lol
Kind of reminds me of the viking raiders or whatever they werr renamed on the main roster. I never got over that lol this poor guy needs a name change immediately
@@Will_kid_cortez Of all the names changed LOL
It's the same reason Orton became the youngest world champion ever after Brock left and they were mad at Brock. Now they're mad at Braun Strowman but they really like the name so now we have Bron.
@@UnitedDudesofAmerica "That's a good question Strowman" LOL that never gets old for me. Sometimes stupid but never old lol
This was a great moment for Bron Breakker/Rex Steiner, and I hope he has a good solid reign. Great to see Rick get to celebrate with him after even if they can't acknowledge him as his father. Too bad, it had to then be completely destroyed the next day by the announcement of more NXT released all connected to HHH. But Bron has shown more talent, skill, and ring understanding in 6 months than 99% of AEW's roster has in 3 years. People said WWE can't create new stars, well we are looking at one.
They have acknowledged it. They posted that scene on their social media.
Looks like Rick
Sounds like Scott
Wrestles like a Steiner
Name like a Muppet.
@@TheLibermania German Action Figure
Looks more like his Uncle.
I really hope that they start calling him Steiner. Bron Breakker is a terrible name.
I'm always going to call him Rex Steiner regardless of anything.
Fun fact: It was actually his idea about that name. Not Vince's, not the writers', not the talent scouts'. Only his.
Disrespect this man by calling him your chosen name than his.
@@Heat3YT2 jim Ross does it every week with jungle boy
@@Heat3YT2 Ha. Vince will take away his name when he hits the main roster. Braun will be too close to Braun Strowman so.....he will end up being called Breaker. This is probably his only chance to use his real last name.
"sissy" got censored in CC 🤣😂😂
I did not expect a Knights Tale reference in this lol
And one and two and three and four. Ciampa doesn’t lead he follows like…..
A girl
Nice lol
Also since Walter is coming to NXT 2.0, Walter v Bron........
I'd rather see Walter beat Reigns for the title at the Rumble.............
Vince will bury him because of his physique
@@bradcarver8127 No way. Vince sees dollar signs in Walter.
Glad to know I can't die if I buy that mattress! Best ad ever!
Bron Breakker has said that he came up with his name.
The Great State of Confusion.😂😂
Don't worry Jim. 2 months after moving to the main roster, he'll be released after losing to Roman!!!
That's just what WWE does nowadays.
Rex is one of the only reasons NXT has a tiny heart beat left
NXT now is more alive now than it was post "WeDneSdAy NigHt WarS". Glad Vince took matters into his own hands
@@wuthurer keep telling yourself that
@@OongTheLastAirbender lol workrate nerd
@@wuthurer that makes no sense in this conversation dumbo
@@OongTheLastAirbender only workrate nerds liked black and gold NXT. It makes complete sense
Why he didn't go with Steiner name??
They should get Jim back to be his manager, doing the old school, Jim spits lyrical and then they sign off with Bron saying a few things in a scary way then laughs
Jim doesn’t want to manage. Do you listen to his podcast? Let it go.
It’s 2022 not 1992. Steiner name isn’t a selling point.
Bron just seems like he’s 100% comfortable in everything he does, he’s great
People say the wwe don’t know how to build a superstar and for years I’ve been saying they do when they want to. Bron Breakker is the perfect example. It’s not accidental how he’s been booked. Same for Roman Charlotte Becky Brock. When they want to they will.
Bron Breaker sounds like Dr Steve Brule butchering someone's name
It must feel pretty satisfying for Scott to see his nephew become king of Triple H's old brand after Triple H's vision had been torn down and replaced.
Bron enters rumble at 1 and wins the whole thing. He goes on to Main Event WrestleMania. It's now going to be Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Bron Breakker, and Bobby Lashley. Unification of WWE, Universal, and NXT titles. Hell, make Lashley beat down Dana Brooke and add the 24/7 title. Ha.
This was like Walter Ilja 2 , that feeling that ive been missing for 20 years, I was actually suspended from reality, and believed these guys were beating each others asses, well done
"From the great state of... Confusion". 😂😂😂
I could just see that, some guy in a body cast when they come take that mattress, saying, "It is supposed to be risk free, but it didn't help when that plane crashed into my house." 😂🤣😂🤣
Ciampa looks like Enzo Amore
Breakker & Hayes have been outstanding.
whats n(e)xt for chiampa?
seems like one of the old guys they're booting
I think the name Steiner is triggering to the McMahons because of Scott. He called Stephanie a see you next tuesday.
there is high probability that she is one, though
Thomasso is all elite
Not letting him use the Steiner name is one of life’s greatest mysteries …
" the great state of confusion" that's actually kind of an interesting home town for the right "gimmick"
I think Rex Steiner name has some trademark issue somewhere, that is why they are not using it
Maybe the announcer should take notes from the greatest announcer in wrestling history Scott Steiner.
The Bron Breakker era shows that the Tiny flip 🐒 vanilla midget era is 100% gone.
Thank God for that !!!!!
Let's get back to realism & legitimacy in wwe.
That wwe version of ROH shit was so damn old.
Ciampa is the best. Can't wait for him to show up at Royal Rumble.
Terrified of what creative will do to him on the main roster.
He was wearing his Dad's wrestling boots
I haven't watched wrestling for 18 years but I loved the Steiners when I was a kid so I bet Rick's son will be great someday.
Bron is biggest “catch your eye star” since Goldberg. He is Goldberg with better talent and promo skills. Charisma is the same.
If Vince's mouth could still salivate he would be doing so over that Bron beef.
I enjoyed the Bite me boots
Maybe VKM is saving the name REX STEINER for the main roster
The kid is a star, I have no idea why they won't let him use his real name, Rex Steiner sounds so much cooler
He didn’t want to for his own reasons apparently. Guess to build his own name without relying on his roots.
@@aegonthedragon7303 Look at the treatment Charlotte Flair gets from fans. Watching that I can see why he would want to distance himself from the name.
His real name is Bronson Rechsteiner. Steiner was never the family name. It's their wrestling name. Rex Steiner is an off shoot of his real last name Rechsteiner.
When will you people learn that he chose his name? Complaining about names is such a mark thing to do 😂
The name won’t be an issue anymore once he solidifies himself in the business.
God damnit Pal, it's called a FrankenBreakker . Breaker line, BreakkerRecliner
Just so you’re both aware, Bron Breakker came up with the name himself.. This wasn’t a traditional dumbass name created by Vince..
Can’t wait for Walter to get to the main roster.
Bronson Steiner. Easy.
definitely. if they are so determined to have Breakker there then call him the Breakker Bronson Steiner.
Even just Bron Steiner would be better. Rex is such a better name though and it doesn't remind me of Braun Strowman.
Bronson is a name that WWE wanted to have on their roster since FCW - they had few people trying out that name, but they were shite, they even named last nameless faceless Tough Enough winner "Bronson Matthews" and he didn't do shit. They had different obsessions in that period of time and that stuck with me, just like forced "black and white" tag teams. But yes, Bronson Steiner all the way!
Bronson chose the name Breaker to avoid letting WWE own the Steiner name.
Match was good but the finish was meh in my opinion. Crowd didn't seem to love it
It was a face versus face match and the crowd loves Ciampa. They popped pretty hard for the Steiner Recliner though
The only thing I’m thinking as to why they don’t call him Steiner is because they are saving for when they bring him to Raw
Oh man...just saw Jay Lethal teaming with Sonny Kiss on AEW Dark Elevation. Wait until Jim hears about this!
Lame
Tommaso Ciampa’s finisher is similar to the Pedigree but it’s not that. It’s the “Angel Wings” that a wrestler named Christopher Daniels does. However, Tommaso calls it “Fairytale Ending.”
its still akward he still think aew with Punk and Bryan is already bigger than WWE or NXT. he should watch NXT 2.0 and rate it. aew is going nowhere ... with all the ex WWE stars at best 1 million and that only 1-2 3 time a year. NXT 2.0 build for the future
I'm so old I remember when his dad was introduced by his real name, Robert Rechsteiner, before just breaking the last name into Rick Steiner. Hopefully they'll let Brekker become Rex Steiner when they call him up to the main roster... and then continue his push because he clearly has the chops and, let's hope, his dad's good sense rather than Uncle Scott's bad attitude. He could be the next Hogan, Cena, top superstar.
surprised cornette actually liked the match since he's not an NXt2.0 fan. Breakker is a great kid . Being the son of Rick will benefit him just as Randy was from being bob orton Jr's son
I believe him breaking the Gold X is just another spit in the face To triple H and what he did for NXT its so fucked up and I hate Triple H yet feel bad for the guy
He's the perfect Steiner. His dad and uncle's strengths and none of their weaknesses.
The Steiners didnt have any weaknesses
Neither one had strong promos skills.
@@Drollpanther his math was sketchy but it added up at the end.
@@richardchisolm8430 Steiner math will forever be my favorite promo.
@@richardchisolm8430 Always felt like The Steiners meant whatever they said even if it wasn't smooth on the mic. Sometimes you don't have to be a slick talker if your shit is legit in the ring
They've done an over run ever since Chucky ended.
Hoping this leads to Bron vs Gable Steveson in the near future. That is a legitimate feud that could bring the right kind of attention.
