News behind Bron Breakker/Baron Corbin (Patreon)

Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin have won over several in NXT with their run as a tag team.

It was announced in early January that Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin would be teaming together in the Dusty Rhodes tag team classic and are currently set to compete in the finals of the tournament on February 4th at NXT Vengeance Day.  

 Fightful's Corey Brennan now reports that throughout the thrown together tag teams run, several important names have taken notice of how over the team has gotten in such a short period of time. During the January 23rd edition of NXT, it was noted to Brennan that several important names backstage at NXT openly commented on how the team was winning over fans. Breakker also earned praise for his athleticism, as members of production joked that they had whiplash from trying to keep up with Bron running the ropes.  

One source in NXT noted that Baron Corbin has been "all class" since beginning his latest run on the black and gold brand and has not "treated the move as a demotion."

There were also discussions about keeping the team together longer than initially planned but Bron Breakker is expected to make his way to the main roster on a full time basis as soon as Monday.
