CM Punk praises ‘blue-chip’ WWE prospect Bron Breakker
CM Punk doesn’t think anything can stop Bron Breakker from becoming one of the biggest stars in the industry.
The two will be on the opposite sides of WarGames at Survivor Series, but Punk had high praise for Breakker this week during an appearance on the Mostly Sports podcast. Host Brandon Walker asked Punk if he sees Breakker as someone who will be the future of WWE.
“Yeah, I do. Whether I like it or not,” Punk responded. “And he’s somebody I think you wouldn’t be able to stop if you tried. He’s got all the tools. Second-generation superstar. His dad [Rick Steiner] and his uncle [Scott Steiner] were possibly one of the greatest tag teams of the 80s and the 90s. Yeah, he’s one of those blue-chip prospects that we always like to talk about.”
A blue-chip prospect is someone with high potential who is likely to become a superstar.
Punk and Breakker have been rivals since Breakker aligned with Paul Heyman as a member of The Vision. The November 29 Survivor Series PLE in San Diego will see Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Usos & Roman Reigns take on Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre & Brock Lesnar inside of the WarGames cage.
On Mostly Sports, Punk discussed the strength of his Survivor Series opponents while jokingly taking a shot at Logan Paul.
“What a hell of a team on the bad guys’ side, huh? Unbelievable,” Punk said. “You talk about Survivor Series and teams, that team is stacked. It’s gotta be all-time. It’s gotta be all time — plus Logan Paul. There’s a lot of strong, beefy, you know, good-looking men on that team — and Logan Paul.”
