NXT Championship Bout Set For WWE NXT Spring Breakin’

Bron Breakker will defend the NXT Championship at WWE NXT Spring Breakin’ on May 3.

On the April 19 episode of WWE NXT 2.0, Joe Gacy challenged Breakker to a title bout. For the duration of the night, Gacy was playing mind games with the champion; Breakker was looking for his foe because Gacy stole his father’s WWE Hall of Fame ring. Gacy threw it into a fire on the April 12 episode and retrieved it from the flames. Previously, he abducted Rick Steiner as part of his mission to torment Breakker.

On Tuesday night, once the champion finally found Gacy, the latter agreed to give him the ring back in exchange for a title shot.

Gacy then told Breakker that he needed to take a “leap of faith” before he shoved him off a platform, sending the champion tumbling to the floor below. A group of masked individuals swarmed Breakker as Gacy looked on.

WWE later confirmed the bout for NXT Spring Breakin’; the preview, courtesy of WWE’s website, is as follows:

Joe Gacy has made his issues with NXT Champion Bron Breakker extremely personal.

The depraved Gacy stunned the NXT Universe when he interrupted Breakker’s title defense celebration to reveal that he had captured and locked up his father Rick Steiner. Luckily, the WWE Hall of Famer was let go, but Gacy kept his Hall of Fame ring as a souvenir, taunting Breakker by saying a family can only be tested through fire before dropping the ring into a fire pit.

The NXT Champion nearly tore apart the NXT Arena in search of Gacy before finally confronting his tormentor. Gacy offered the ring without complaints, only asking for an opportunity at Breakker’s NXT Championship at NXT Spring Breakin’ in return, an opportunity Breakker was more than willing to agree to following the recent events.

But the devious Gacy was not done with Breakker just yet, stating he needed to “take a leap of faith” before pushing him off a balcony and having him surrounded by hooded disciples.

Can Breakker overcome all of Gacy’s mind games to hold on to his NXT Championship?

Find out at NXT Spring Breakin’ Tuesday, May 3, at 8/7 C on USA!
