This week’s edition of NXT featured a thrilling collision between bitter rivals Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker. The former clinched the victory in an amazing match. However, facing defeat at the hands of Melo didn’t sit well with Breakker. After the match, he flattened Hayes with a vicious spear and grabbed the mic to cut a promo.

Bron Breakker proclaimed himself the only badass in all of WWE. It was then that The Undertaker’s gong went off and the 58-year-old came out in his ‘American Badass’ gimmick. He was sporting a bandana mounted on his iconic motorcycle. He then headed to the ring and had a staredown with the 25-year-old.

The young superstar mockingly referred to the WWE legend as an “old timer.” The taker obliterated Breakker with an effective chokeslam. After Hayes regained his composure, the WWE legend gave his stamp of approval to the 29-year-old superstar, hailing him in front of the Florida crowd.
