While Bron Breakker is a rather quickly rising star in WWE, some have always been concerned with one decision by the company regarding him. According to veteran journalist Bill Apter, the decision makes complete sense when thinking about it in terms of copyrighting.

Bron Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner, a fact that is sometimes mentioned by commentators during his appearances. Unlike stars like Randy Orton who have taken the Orton title from their father however, his on screen WWE name does not have a Steiner in it. This, some believe undermines his heritage in the wrestling scene.

Speaking about it on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Bill Apter stated the reason behind this decision:

"Because WWE probably gave him that name so they could copyright that name and use it under their banner. (...) They do say that he is the son of Rick Steiner. They do say that."

Vince Russo is also not a fan of the WWE star's name

According to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, Bron Breakker's on screen name is a major factor in holding him back as a star in the company.

During a previous appearance on Writing with Russo, Vince talked about how it was unlikely for Bron to be John Cena's final opponent simply based on his name. He said:

"I don't think so, bro, I don't. God, I swear to God, and I said this from day one. This guy's freaking name alone is gonna hold him back. I don't think, listen, he is a solid, solid, solid, solid player. Is he main event? I look at him right now, and I don't see that man. I just don't see that. I see a very strong, you know, generic wrestler. I mean, that's what I see."

As of now, it remains to be seen what is next for Bron Breakker down the line.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.

Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.

Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
