Wolf Dogs (or whatever Corbin and Breakker’s team name is)… kinda rule?

Didn’t expect the decision to pair up Baron Corbin & Bron Breakker for this year’s Dusty Rhodes Classic to become one of my new favorite things, but after this scene of the thrown-together heel duo debating their team name on NXT last night (Jan. 16)… that’s what they are.

The Wolf Dogs (c’mon Corbs, it’s not bad… definitely better than Wild Boars) have great chemistry. The act is also honing Breakker’s comedic chops, which is something that eventually serves every WWE Superstar well. Much has been said and written about how Bron should have been called up by now, but they’ve wisely used his extended run in NXT to work on every facet of his game. He’s been a face and a heel, a champion and a midcard act. Now he’s practicing his tag and comedy skills. When they find the right story and decide the time is right for a call-up, the second-generation star will have done it all.

It’s also a great use of Corbin. He’s in NXT to lend some main roster cred to whoever he’s working with. And in this case — as someone who’s been tasked with playing all the different roles Bron’s working his way through now, he’s the perfect partner/foil for Breakker.

Could we do without the gay panic-y shower jokes? Sure, but even that fits as something we’d probably hear from two admitted a**holes.
