This past week on the first episode of the newly branded NXT 2.0, it started with a huge debut. LA Knight was feeling cocky, and called out a fresh talent for a match. He got Bron Breakker, who was actually the son of Rick Steiner. Fans expected him to show up as Rex Steiner, but WWE pivoted to a different name – and now we could know the reason why.

Bron Breakker Expecting A Huge Push In The Coming Weeks
When it comes to Breakker, he’s been set up as a huge star. He defeated one of the men in the mix for the NXT Championship match, in under four minutes. Breakker looked hugely impressive in that opening match, and was most people’s pick to be shoved into the Fatal Four Way when Kyle O’Reilly fell.
