Bron Breakker has opened up about his segment with Undertaker in NXT.
The October 10, 2023 date saw the renewal of an old rivalry in wrestling as NXT went head-to-head with AEW Dynamite once more since the end of the Wednesday night wars. WWE took the competition very seriously and booked a number of big names for the show, including none other than The Undertaker.
The former NXT Champion recently had an interview with 99.5 WKDQ radio to promote Monday’s Raw from Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. He discussed things such as losing the IC title to Jey Uso, his rivalry with Carmelo Hayes and more.
When asked about his experience of working with the Undertaker, Bron Breakker revealed that the Phenom actually sat down with him after the show and they have developed a relationship since then:
“We sat and we talked for a long time after that show. He just gave me a lot of great advice. That sort of started a little bit of relationship with him and I since then. Every time I see him in the building, or when he comes around, I always go up, we have conversation. Undertaker’s the best. He’s great.”
Absolute Honor For Me: Bron Breakker
The segment in question came after a match between Breakker and Carmelo Hayes. Hayes had John Cena in his corner while Paul Heyman joined Bron. Hayes won the match in the end. The second-generation star didn’t like the result and he continued his assault on Melo.
This is when the Dead Man showed up and he delivered a chokeslam to the young star. According to Bron Breakker, it was an experience he’ll never forget:
“Absolute honor for me to even be in that position with him, with such a legend. It was an incredible night. That’s a night I’ll never forget. That’ll probably be some sort of poster or picture that’s on my wall forever. So surreal moment between me and him, and [I’m] just so thankful I got to be a part of it. He’s awesome. Love that dude.”
Apart from Cena and Taker, the October 10 NXT also featured names such as Cody Rhodes, Asuka and LA Knight. With the star-studded lineup, WWE’s third brand managed to crush AEW’s flagship show in ratings, drawing 921,000 viewers compared to 609,000 viewers from their competitors.
