Bron Breakker thinks being a heel is much more fun than being a babyface.
Outside of a short run as a babyface back in NXT, Bron Breakker has been one of the most dominant heels in the WWE in his career. His no-nonsense and brutal wrestling style has found him great success, including helping him win two Intercontinental Championships on the main roster.
Bron Breakker recently sat down with the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, where he talked about preferring being a heel.
He said that it was more fun, citing the ability to be an “evil, crazy, unhinged character” that feels right for him.
“I like being a heel so much more than being a babyface—at least so far. I love being a heel because it just feels more natural to me. It’s easier for me to tap into that violent, unhinged, lunatic side. I think I connect with that role better than I do with being a babyface.”
“I’ve only had one babyface run, and that was back in NXT. At the time, I was still figuring everything out so quickly. I didn’t really understand what it meant to be a babyface or a heel. I didn’t fully grasp the mannerisms, the camera work, how to sell the facial expressions on TV—any of that. It was all a crash course for me back then.”
“I’m sure I’ll get back to being a babyface at some point in my career—no doubt about that—but the next time around, it’ll be much better. I’ve grown so much and have a much better understanding of how it all works now.”
“But man, being a heel is just so much more fun. There’s something about being this evil, crazy, unhinged character that just feels right. It hits differently, you know? That’s where I thrive.”
