In a recent interview, Hall of Fame journalist Bill Apter shared his thoughts on WWE’s decision not to punish Bron Breakker for his backstage altercation with Ricochet. Apter, who appeared on Wrestling’s UnSKripted, criticized the segment, stating that it lacked believability.
Following Breakker’s match with Ilja Dragunov, he engaged in a physical altercation with Ricochet, who was ultimately taken to a medical facility due to the vicious assault. Despite WWE’s history of punishing stars for such actions, RAW general manager Adam Pearce has yet to penalize Breakker.
When asked about WWE’s decision, Apter stated, “they could have fined him and banned him or whatever. But by that point, Breakker had already been beaten up pretty much by Ilja Dragunov. So it wasn’t believable. You know he had to get Ricochet outside the ring by a car to make this whole thing mean something.”

Ricochet has since been written off TV, leaving fans to speculate about Breakker’s future in WWE. Apter’s comments provide insight into WWE’s decision not to punish Breakker, suggesting that the company may have felt that doing so would have further diminished the segment’s credibility.
Apter’s comments offer a unique perspective on WWE’s storytelling decisions and the potential motivations behind them. His insights are sure to be of interest to wrestling fans and industry observers alike.
