Bron Breakker shared details about his Bron Breakker WWE main roster call-up, reflecting on his time in NXT and his swift success after joining the main roster. Rising through WWE ranks rapidly, Breakker described the pivotal moment he discovered his career was about to change, leading him to major championship victories within months.
Breakker Moves From NXT to the WWE Main Roster
After performing in NXT from 2021 through early 2024, Bron Breakker transitioned to WWE’s major shows, bringing with him accolades such as the NXT Championship and NXT Tag Team Championship earned between 2022 and 2024. In early 2024, he was officially called up and assigned to the SmackDown brand, marking a major milestone in his wrestling journey.
Reactions to His Call-Up and Initial Experiences
On The Undertaker’s podcast, Six Feet Under, Breakker openly talked about his lack of prior experience and the challenges faced upon arrival at the main stage.
“I don’t know how to work a crowd. I’ve never been in front of a crowd. I’ve never been, better yet, a wrestling audience. I mean, thank God for LA Knight, veteran taking me through that, you know. And then, like, did the TV match and then main roster executive comes down and goes, ‘You’re going on tour, SmackDown, wrestling every night.’ And I was like, yeah,”

He explained that touring with the company immediately thrust him into challenging scenarios, where he rotated among different match types and competitors nightly, which pushed him to adapt and improve at an accelerated pace.
“I got to do that, which really helped me a lot because I got in there in multiple situations. It was different matches every night. I was working amongst the same guys, but we’re rotating. There’s a triple threat with singles and got tested a lot during that tour. And then, I did that one. I came back, went straight to TV and it was—we’re on the house shows that very next week, and here we go.”

His second run continued until WrestleMania 41, before Dominik Mysterio took the championship from him.
