Since his promotion to WWE’s main roster in April 2024, Bron Breakker has made a significant impact, notably as the Intercontinental Champion and a member of the faction led by Seth Rollins and Paul Heyman on Monday Night RAW. Central to his in-ring identity is his Bron Breakker signature spear move, which has become a feared weapon inside the squared circle.
Former WWE Superstar Carlito recently opened up about his reaction after taking the full force of Breakker’s spear during a RAW appearance. Speaking with WWE legend D-Von Dudley on Dudley’s YouTube channel, Carlito described how overwhelming the move felt up close and how he had to “play dead” following the hit.
“It is, it is scary to look at up close. I think it depends on how he feels about you. You know what I mean? The impact, um, this one, yeah, this one was, was, uh, was, was pretty intense. I just remember him running at me. I’m, you know, I’m ready, and then all of a sudden, he takes off in the air. I was like, wait a minute. What’s going on here? Luckily, I didn’t have to do much on my part. That was here. Just getting hit and going with it, and I played dead too,” Carlito said. —Carlito, Former WWE Superstar
Carlito’s contract with WWE expired recently, leading to his exit from the company. At the same time, Bron Breakker faced a setback after losing to CM Punk in a Gauntlet Match on RAW, which denied him an opportunity to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
Goldberg Expresses Support for Bron Breakker’s Exclusive Use of the Spear
The Spear is a signature move famously associated with Goldberg, who retired after a match against Gunther. In an interview with CBS Sports, Goldberg shared his opinion on why Bron Breakker should be recognized as the sole wielder of the spear going forward in WWE.
“I had the conversation last night with Bron. I told him my feelings on it, that I think, 1000%, he’s the only human being in WWE that should be doing that. I know I’ll catch a lot of hell for that, but I don’t care. That’s the truth. It is what it is,” Goldberg said. —Goldberg, WWE Legend
Although the two never squared off in competition—given Goldberg’s recent retirement—the endorsement from a wrestling icon like Goldberg adds weight to Breakker’s rising status in WWE as the spear’s new standard bearer.
Bron Breakker’s spear move continues to draw attention for its force and effectiveness, marking him as a formidable competitor in WWE’s evolving landscape. His association with top names such as Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and his championship reign highlight his growing significance. With endorsements from veterans and spirited performances, Breakker’s spear is cementing itself as a defining maneuver that could shape his future trajectory in WWE’s hierarchy.
