The veteran praised Breakker’s skills by comparing him to two of the most dominant superstars in WWE history. He jokingly remarked that if Lesnar and Goldberg got married, then the former NXT Champion would be their offspring.

Trey Bearhill was one of the superstars who got released this year. He was an NXT star, and many considered the powerhouse a future champion. Fightful Select reported that there was a surprise backstage after Bearhill was released by the company. It was believed that one of the reasons behind his release was his similarities to Eddie Thorpe, but that might not be the case.

Trey had been gaining attention on the NXT, even though he had only participated in two televised matches. However, contrary to some speculations, his release was not due to his resemblance to another wrestler, Eddy Thorpe, who also has Native American heritage. The exact reasons for Bearhill’s release remain unclear.
