Bron Breakker has been viewed as one of WWE's top future stars since making his in-ring debut in 2021. Vince Russo, the company's former head writer, thinks Drew McIntyre could help the 27-year-old reach the next level.
Breakker is the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner. On October 21, 2024, the former football player defeated Jey Uso on RAW to win the Intercontinental Championship for the second time. Since then, he has retained the title against Ludwig Kaiser and Sheamus.
Russo discussed Breakker's booking alongside host Dr. Chris Featherstone on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing With Russo. Although McIntyre performs on SmackDown right now, he thinks The Scottish Warrior would be the perfect opponent for the RAW star.
"I'm okay with that [Breakker being Intercontinental Champion], bro, but you gotta build the dude," Russo said. "You're not building Bron Breakker with the Pete Dunnes of the world and people like that. You've got to put him in a meaningful feud. You know who I would put him in a feud with, honestly, right now? Put him in a feud with Drew. You've got to put him in there with somebody that means something, man, and you know Drew would get that guy over like a million bucks." [1:49 – 2:17]

Russo added that McIntyre could attack WWE Hall of Famers The Steiner Brothers as part of the storyline:
"Let Drew do a number on Rick Steiner. Let Drew do a number on Scott Steiner. Both of them, man. I mean, that's how you get somebody over. When you're putting Bron Breakker in there with Braun Strowman and people like this, it ain't doing nothing for him, man." [2:43 – 3:02]

Vince Russo on Bron Breakker becoming a "huge" babyface
During his three-and-a-half years on WWE television, Bron Breakker has performed as a babyface and a heel.
According to Vince Russo, the villainous Drew McIntyre would be capable of turning Breakker into one of WWE's biggest fan favorites:
"Bron would be a huge babyface. Absolutely huge babyface, bro, and you've got two pros, one selling for his son, one selling for his nephew. Come on, bro, that's perfect." [3:20 – 3:36]
Breakker is currently feuding with The Judgment Day on RAW. On March 3, he made a statement by fighting off attacks from Carlito, Dominik Mysterio, and Finn Balor.
