AJ Styles says Bron Breakker should be the world champion in WWE

Aaron Rift — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 14:24:58 +0000

While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles discussed Bron Breakker potentially becoming a top star in WWE. Here is what Styles stated…

“How long are we going to wait for Bron Breakker to be World Heavyweight Champion? I think he’s definitely a star right now. Why we haven’t put it on him to put the rocket up his butt and send him to the freaking moon, I don’t know, because he is the destroyer.

Well, he had to get surgery done. I believe he had a hernia or something. But the fact that he was out and now he’s back, and he’s even scarier than before—like, let’s go. Freaking let’s do this, because we all know that it’s all about the chase. The babyface chasing the heel. Bron Breakker is the heel.

The Vision’s actually coming back together. They’re healing up and coming back together, so let’s see what we can do with those guys next. I’m not saying you’ve got to split them up. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just saying I’d like to see Bron as World Heavyweight Champion, but he’s not in a World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam.”

While Bron Breakker was reported to be the “whiteboard favorite” to win the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match in late 2025, Roman Reigns ultimately emerged as the winner.

During the third season of WWE Unreal on Netflix, behind-the-scenes footage showed WWE’s creative team discussing plans for the Royal Rumble. Here was the exchange regarding the possibility of Breakker winning…

Jonathan Baeckstrone, WWE Vice President of Creative Writing: “Heading into Mania, Breakker winning the Rumble and going into Mania as the challenger feels like a more organic build for him.”

Paul “Triple H” Levesque: “So the risk with Bron Breakker is everything from can he actually do it? Can he mentally handle it? Will fans accept it? So you have to really be sure.”

Ryan Ward, WWE Vice President of Creative Writing: “The Royal Rumble was a star-making moment for him to win and get where we need to go.”

Baeckstrone: “For whatever reason, him winning the title immediately feels to me like we’re just kind of [shoving him down your throat].”

Triple H: “Yeah, I think you can make a shocking moment out of it, but I still worry a little bit that it feels like you’re just shoving him down your throat.”

News regarding Bron Breakker’s face being censored in WWE Night of Champions replay

Aaron Rift — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 20:08:53 +0000

As seen during WWE Night of Champions 2026, Seth Rollins defeated Bron Breakker in a steel cage match.

The encounter featured an unplanned incident in which Breakker was legitimately busted open after going through a table. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted that WWE, not Netflix, decided to edit replay footage to reduce the visibility of the blood. This included digitally altering Breakker’s face, changing camera angles to avoid showing the blood directly, and cutting to crowd shots.

PWInsider also reported that WWE commonly edits replay audio by replacing “holy sh*t” chants with “This is awesome” chants.

Not cool @Netflix to disrespect @BronBreakkerWWE's craft with @WWERollins at #WWENOC in a workhorse Steel Cage match.

Bron gave blood to tell a story, you're now preventing him from doing so.

A shameful way to treat a top star of @WWE.

Backstage news regarding the status of The Vision faction heading into SummerSlam 2026

Aaron Rift — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 18:10:27 +0000

The Vision was formed shortly after WrestleMania 41 in April of 2025, but the group’s momentum was quickly disrupted by injuries. Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul all spent time on the sidelines which forced WWE to repeatedly adjust its creative plans for the faction.

According to WrestleVotes Radio, there are differing opinions within WWE regarding the future of the group. Some believe the faction can continue, but only if it is reimagined, including potential changes to its membership. Others feel The Vision has run its course and that it is time to “let the pieces fall where they may.”

Regardless of The Vision’s future, the report notes that Paul Heyman is expected to remain aligned with Bron Breakker. Those within WWE reportedly view the pairing as an important part of Breakker’s overall presentation.

As seen during the March 30th 2026 edition of WWE RAW at Madison Square Garden, Seth Rollins vs. Gunther was officially confirmed for WWE WrestleMania 42, despite rumors of Bron Breakker being in the building.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following regarding the situation…

“During last night’s show, we said we’d check on whether Gunther vs. Seth came about because Breakker wasn’t cleared in time. Actually, no—that was the updated plan regardless.”

A fan asked Meltzer, “So since Bron was injured, Gunther/Seth was always the plan B?” Meltzer responded, “No, there were multiple other ideas since that specific injury.”

Original scrapped plan for Bron Breakker in WWE NXT revealed

Aaron Rift — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:28:40 +0000

While appearing on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Tony D’Angelo revealed the original scrapped plan for Bron Breakker in WWE NXT…

“When we first got in, me and Bron were in a tag together—Bron Breaker. So we were doing that for a minute, not on TV, but they were priming us. They were like, ‘This is what you’re going to do,’ kind of like the New Age Steiner Brothers type of deal.

I was wearing a singlet before that anyway, so it wasn’t that big of a change. But yeah, I just remember one day Road Dogg came up and was like, ‘Hey man, we’re not doing this.’

And it’s right when NXT 2.0 first kicked off. They kind of just did a clean slate, you know—everybody, we kind of have a lane for you. And I had to figure out quickly what I was going to do. So in one of the in-house matches, I just turned it on, and they were like, ‘Whoa, where’d that come from?’ type of thing—with the accent and all that.

And then they were like, ‘Yep, we’re running with this. This is it.'”

WrestleVotes Radio reports that while Bron Breakker has been out of action due to a hernia, there is increasing internal optimism that his return may be approaching. Sources say there is hope he could be medically cleared in time for a comeback before WrestleMania 42, depending on his recovery. It’s being said that there is already a creative plan in place for Breakker at WrestleMania if he is cleared to compete.

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following…

“Seth Rollins vs. either Logan Paul or Bron Breakker seems like a likely direction. It has not been confirmed to us on whether Breakker will be ready after hernia surgery and we were [told] the Paul & Austin Theory vs. Usos direction does not necessarily mean Paul won’t be in that match and is unrelated.”

Aaron Rift — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 21:29:52 +0000

On Sunday night, it was reported that Bron Breakker had surgery for a “serious hernia” following the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE. Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted the following in regards to the situation with Breakker…

“The word making the way around Raw is that Bron Breakker’s hernia was an issue that had been ongoing prior to last week’s Raw but the determination was made that surgery was needed after his Raw appearance. For the MANY who have asked, Breakker’s booking in the 2026 Royal Rumble was not dictated by any injury or health issues. That was the creative that was decided for him at that event to start his run to Wrestlemania, which obviously has now changed due to the surgery being needed.”
