Bron Breaker, the nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Scott Steiner and son of legendary wrestler Rick Steiner,
has been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans and insiders.
Despite his family’s storied wrestling legacy,
the former NXT Champion has opted not to use the Steiner name in WWE. This decision has sparked speculation and debate within the wrestling community.
Many fans have urged Bron Breaker to adopt the Steiner name, believing it would enhance his legacy and pay homage to his wrestling lineage. Some have even suggested incorporating his father, Rick, and uncle, Scott, into storylines to elevate his status further. Wrestling legend and veteran Vince Russo has also weighed in, criticizing the decision to use the name Bron Breaker instead of Bron Steiner. Russo believes that this choice could be detrimental to Breaker’s career, missing out on the built-in recognition and respect that comes with the Steiner name.
Scott Steiner recently commented on the situation during a Monopoly Events appearance. He revealed that Bron Breaker is keen on using the Steiner name, but WWE has intentionally chosen to push him under a different moniker. Steiner suggested that this is a strategic decision by WWE and implied that it’s not a battle worth fighting over, hinting at a backstage rationale for the choice.
Critics of WWE’s decision point out that using a family name has not hindered other wrestlers’ careers, such as Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, Dominik Mysterio, and Randy Orton. They argue that adopting the Steiner name would not negatively impact Bron Breaker and could even benefit him by leveraging the Steiner legacy.
In other WWE news, Intercontinental Champion Gunther continues his dominant run on the main roster since joining in 2022. Gunther has yet to be pinned or submitted, quickly securing the Intercontinental title and holding it ever since. Many regard him as one of WWE’s most formidable champions and potentially the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time.
Bron Breaker reminded fans that he was the last person to secure a pinfall victory over Gunther back in NXT, adding another layer to his already impressive career. Breaker hinted that the Intercontinental Champion has been avoiding a rematch, sparking anticipation among fans for a potential showdown between the two powerhouse wrestlers.
As the debate over Bron Breaker’s name continues, fans eagerly await his next move in WWE, hoping to see him fully embrace his family legacy while carving out his unique path in professional wrestling.
