WWE Hall Of Famer Cautions Bron Breakker Against Complacency

As with any elder statesman offering advice to a young ‘un, Booker urged Breakker to take the criticism in his stride. 

“Hopefully he’ll hear this interview and go, ‘Coach, what do you mean by that’, because you have to be innovative in this business,” Booker continued. 

“You have to be able to give the fans a bone every now and then. You got to be able to let them smell, you know, lift the pot a little bit and let them smell what’s cooking up underneath. The thing is, you got to be able to mix what’s in that pot up on a weekly basis. If I’m just eating chicken, chicken, chicken, I’m going to get tired of just eating chicken. I want some steak. If I just eat steak too long, give me some lobster. You have to be able to mix it up, especially when you’re champion.”

Breakker, in the midst of his 316-day reign as “NXT” Champion, will defend his title against Jinder Mahal on next week’s episode of WWE’s developmental brand. The match was set up after Mahal and Indus Sher confronted Breakker on Tuesday, just weeks after Breakker’s successful title defense against Grayson Waller at the Vengeance Day premium live event.
