Bron Breakker reveals World Championship plans after Seth Rollins feud at WWE Backlash
Bron Breakker has seemingly got his long term plans laid out. He is hopeful to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship after he’s done with Seth Rollins at Backlash.
In an interview with ESPN, Breakker revealed that his match against Rollins is the final stop before pursuing the World Heavyweight Championship. He dwelled on history with Rollins in The Vision before things turned awry.
“I think this means everything, especially for me getting back in the World Title picture. I think the first order of business is getting through Seth Rollins and sort of putting that story to bed because we have a lot of history. Obviously, Seth took me under his wing a little bit over a year ago after WrestleMania to sort of groom me as ‘the next big thing in WWE.’ But things things went a little astray along the way cause I just just had this feeling at some point or another Seth was going to either turn his back on me or pull the rug on me as soon as that things maybe didn’t start going his way or along with his vision that he saw the group going so I just beat him to it really.”
Breakker also discussed how using the spear in wrestling feels natural to him given his football background.
“I think it just stems back from my football career. I was a defensive guy for the majority of my career. I played linebacker. I played sort of like a hybrid safety linebacker kind of guy that could play in the box and guy that could play in space with skilled players. And I feel like I’ve just been doing this spear my entire life. It’s second nature to me and it’s pretty cool that I can bring that experience from football and translate that over to wrestling.”
Breakker initiated the attack on Rollins in October 2025, which laid the foundation for their ongoing rivalry. At WrestleMania 42, Breakker returned after a few months away due to hernia surgery and cost Rollins his match against Gunther.
In the week that followed, Rollins confronted Breakker who claimed he never needed him, and mocked him. This ultimately led to Rollins issuing a challenge for WWE Backlash on May 9.
