Bron Breakker Credits Tommaso Ciampa With Suggesting He Use the Spear

Bron Breakker’s spear has become a feared move in WWE, and he says Tommaso Ciampa was the person that suggested he incorporate it into his moveset. The WWE Intercontinental Champion noted on the No-Contest Wrestling Podcast that Ciampa suggested he use the move when they were in NXT and feuding over the brand’s championship.

“Tommaso suggested it and he was like, ‘What about a spear? You’re a football guy,'” Breakker recalled (per Wrestling Inc). “And I was like, ‘Yeah, I know, I’ll give it a try.'”

He continued, “You’ve got to know I haven’t given someone a legitimate spear since I played, okay? So I did it how I know how to do it, and I hit him and he went down, we did the match and I came to the back and Shawn [Michaels] and everybody was like, ‘That’s it, that’s what we need, we need to see that every time you’re out there.'”

Breakker had two reigns as NXT Champion before he went to the main roster, where he has already won the Intercontinental Championship twice.
