It was just unbelievable. It still hasn&#8217;t set in yet, it only happened 12 hours ago. That was really cool. My dad, it was the first time he&#8217;s ever seen me work and he sat front row. It was cool. It was a moment. That&#8217;s a moment I&#8217;ll cherish forever &#8230; It&#8217;s crazy, man. They&#8217;re (Rick and Scott Steiner) proud of me. You know what I mean? They&#8217;re happy for me. They&#8217;re kind of living through me in a way, a little bit. They&#8217;re very involved. Talking to me, giving me tips, help, whatever the case is. It&#8217;s cool, man. I could see it makes them happy, man. It&#8217;s a really cool thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In terms of what kind of champion Breakker wants to be?

I want to be electrifying and fun to watch. I want people to be on the edge of their seat when I come out because they love me and they can&#8217;t wait to see what I&#8217;m going to do next. I just want to be an honorable champion and representation of this company and show what we&#8217;re all about here at NXT.
