The Undertaker Tips NXT Star For The Top

The Undertaker survivor series 2020

The Undertaker believes a former NXT Champion has the “it factor.”

During a career that spanned more than 30 years, The Undertaker worked with some of the greatest names wrestling has ever seen, and witnessed more than one ‘next big thing’ fall by the wayside.

However, he’s tipping one NXT star to rise to the top of WWE and avoid the pitfalls that have ended the careers of other rising stars.

Speaking on his Six Feet Under podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer tipped his famous black hat to Bron Breakker, explaining that he’s got the “it factor” that could take him to the main event.

He’s got it. Not only the physical attributes, but he has ‘it,’ he’s a personality and the it factor is important. It’s cool that they can take that much time with him, that shows how strong the roster really is. They let him develop, and develop, and develop, and now he is ready and he’ll move into a really good spot I’m sure.”

Bron Breakker is currently flying high in NXT after winning the Tag Team Titles alongside Baron Corbin. Breakker has long been tipped for a call-up to the main roster and recently replaced Brock Lesnar in the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble match.

The Undertaker Full Of Praise For NXT

The Undertaker went on to praise his long-time friend and former in-ring rival Shawn Michaels for the work he’s doing as the head of NXT.

“What a freaking super job he’s doing down there,” Undertaker said about current “NXT” creative head Shawn Michaels. “Shawn, when he was in his run and something went wrong, Shawn flipped a gasket … but he’s so chill down there. Matt Bloom, all those guys that are down there, they’re so nurturing. It’s crazy, it’s so well done.”

It was recently announced that The Undertaker’s Graveyard Escape will launch in Saudi Arabia on February 16th.
