Cody Rhodes has identified Bron Breakker as a key figure in WWE’s future, highlighting Breakker’s rising prominence within the company. Speaking in 2024, Rhodes expressed strong confidence in Breakker’s potential as a future main eventer and champion in WWE.
At WrestleMania 41 earlier this year, Seth Rollins famously turned heel and aligned himself with Paul Heyman, forming a faction known as ‘The Vision.’ Rollins recruited Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed to serve as the powerhouse enforcers of the group. Together, they have become one of WWE’s most dominant factions, with Rollins holding the World Heavyweight Championship and Breakker being a former Intercontinental Champion. With this setup, the group has positioned itself for continued success.
Rhodes Highlights Breakker’s Potential as WWE’s Next Big Star
During an appearance on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike podcast, Cody Rhodes praised Bron Breakker, describing him as the future face of WWE. Rhodes admitted that initially he had not considered Breakker in this light, but now firmly believes he is being groomed for top-tier stardom.
“I love Bron Breakker, and he’s not gonna like me saying this. But I’m glad you talked to him, because Bron Breakker is—I didn’t think this at first, and I don’t mean this with any disrespect, I do think it now though—he’s the future of WWE. He’s definitely someone that we’re positioning to be there as we go. And I mean, main event of WrestleMania, potentially the big, big stuff, win the WWE Title, all these things. But watching him be interviewed is fun because it’s a little new to him. Seeing this guy who barks and spears people at 3 million miles an hour just kind of lock in and, ‘Oh, we’re WWE… signing with ESPN.’ It’s making my day because I already know this guy’s probably gonna beat me at some point down the road, but at least I’m going to enjoy this period of time where he’s just, ‘… Hi.’ He’s amazing. If you come and see him, you’ll be very blown away with what Bron can do. But I’m enjoying this period of time. It’s like a franchise quarterback. This is like rookie year.”

Rhodes likened Breakker’s emergence to a rookie quarterback entering the league, emphasizing that although Breakker may surpass him eventually, for now, he is relishing witnessing his development. This speaks to the respect Rhodes holds for Breakker’s in-ring ability and charisma, as well as the confidence WWE has in his future.
Upcoming Matches Signal Growing Roles for Rhodes and Breakker
Looking ahead, Rhodes is set to face Drew McIntyre at WrestlePalooza, a match that continues to build his standing. Meanwhile, Bron Breakker will team with Bronson Reed in a tag-team bout against The Usos, further establishing his presence within WWE’s competitive landscape. These matches showcase both wrestlers as integral figures in ongoing storylines and future plans.
Rhodes Reflects on His Most Intense Rivalry
In a separate interview on ESPN First Take, Cody Rhodes discussed what he considers the biggest feud of his career: Roman Reigns. Rhodes referred to Reigns as an opponent who constantly keeps him sharp and expressed hope that Reigns remains a key player in WWE for years to come.
“Roman keeps me on my toes and I hope he’s around for years to come I I need a Roman Reigns”

Rhodes’ intense rivalry with Reigns began in the early phase of his career but gained real momentum following Rhodes’ 2022 return, culminating in Rhodes winning the WWE Championship from Reigns at WrestleMania 40. This rivalry has been a defining storyline and cemented Rhodes’ status as a main event talent.
Significance of Breakker’s Rise Within WWE’s Landscape
The praise from Cody Rhodes indicates a shifting focus within WWE toward grooming fresh stars like Bron Breakker, who combine athleticism and charisma. As part of ‘The Vision,’ Breakker benefits from alignment with established names such as Rollins and Heyman, providing valuable exposure. Rhodes’ endorsement is significant, signaling WWE’s investment in Breakker as a cornerstone for future storylines and championship pursuits.
With both Rhodes and Breakker featured prominently in upcoming events, WWE fans can expect these athletes to play crucial roles in the promotion’s direction throughout 2024. If Rhodes’ prediction holds true, Breakker might soon emerge as a key figure headlining major WWE shows and possibly main eventing WrestleMania in the years ahead.
