Charlotte Flair Names Trick Williams, Bron Breakker As WWE’s Next Breakout Stars

Charlotte Flair is keeping a close watch on two rising names heading into WWE Backlash 2026: Trick Williams and Bron Breakker. Speaking on ESPN SportsCenter, Flair pointed to both as the breakout stars, as they are gaining traction on the current WWE roster.

Williams heads into Backlash as United States Champion, set to defend the title against Sami Zayn. The rematch follows his title win over Zayn at WrestleMania 42, which set the stage for their feud.

Charlotte Flair highlighted how Trick Williams connects with crowds the moment he walks out. She referenced his entrances, presence, and overall athleticism behind his growing reaction from fans.

“In my opinion, the first one would be Trick Williams. His entrance, you can see everyone standing. The fans are already connecting with him. The charisma, the size. He just looks like a stud, an athlete. I mean, look at him.

She also pointed to Breakker as another name to watch. Flair referenced his return during WrestleMania season and his feud with Seth Rollins as part of the ongoing storyline.

“A little bias, Bron Breakker, given he’s a second-generation talent, he was out on injury. When he came back, he made, definitely an impact at WrestleMania, and facing Seth, who is one of the greats of my generation. I definitely think those two, Trick Williams and Bron Breakker, are definitely breakout stars in the next couple of years.”

Breakker is scheduled to face Rollins at Backlash, continuing their rivalry after recent developments on WWE programming.
