David Otunga appeared on TMZ Inside The Ring this week and weighed in on the current situation involving Bron Breakker. The former NXT Champion was recently suspended by General Manager Adam Pearce following a physical altercation. Otunga, using his background as a Harvard-educated attorney, argued that Breakker has a strong case for self-defense.
Otunga broke down the legalities of the segment, claiming Pearce initiated the contact. “Well, technically, I believe he could within the bounds of the contract, but I think that his argument falls apart being that he’s alleging that Bron battered him, when, in fact, it was Adam Pierce who put his hands on Bron first… Bron could argue that this is self-defense. I mean, if I were his attorney, I would argue this is self-defense and that this suspension is invalid and should be nullified immediately. And if it’s not, Adam Pierce should potentially be fined.”
Royal Rumble Prediction
Otunga also made a bold prediction regarding the upcoming Royal Rumble match. When asked who he believes will win the 30-man over-the-top-rope extravaganza, he pointed to the second-generation Steiner. Otunga believes the victory would be the perfect catalyst to launch Breakker into the main event scene at WrestleMania.
“I really think Bron Breakker, like, I think he would be perfect. I see that, and he’s due for a main event spot at some time. And I think winning the Royal Rumble, that’s a great way to do it when that and then now he’s got this main event spot at Mania, yeah, I can see that.”
