We get a video package for Bron Breakker. We see him getting on his boat. He says this is where he likes to go after his matches. Out here he says he is just a fisherman. He likes how quiet it is. Being the NXT champion comes with a lot of weight and he loves it. It does take a toll after a while. At first, you feel like Superman. As time goes on, there is more weight and pressure. That is why I come out here. As it gets colder and winter comes in, the fish get slower and less active. That forces him to broaden his bait choices to get a reaction out of the fish. This is his escape. This is where he drops all of that weight. When he goes back to shore, he has competitors coming at him from all angles.
Apollo Crews is next. When one challenge ends, another one begins. The weight goes back on in three weeks. After I retain my title, you know where you can find him.
