Bron Breakker, Ilja Dragunov, and Carmelo Hayes have finally transitioned to the main roster. Breakker and Dragunov are on RAW, while Hayes finds himself on SmackDown. Although Hayes hasn’t had a feud with any stars yet, he recently had interesting backstage interactions with Bobby Lashley and LA Knight. Thus, it can be predicted that Hayes could be in line for a major feud on SmackDown.
On RAW, both Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov have made quite an impact on the red brand.

Recently, he targeted Ricochet, attacking the high-flyer with devastating spears. As all three former NXT champions try to make their mark on the main roster, WWE higher-ups are particularly impressed with Bron Breakker’s recent work.
WrestleVotes reported that WWE higher-ups are impressed with Bron Breakker’s brief run on RAW. The report indicated that WWE has significantly changed its creative plans for Breakker. A source revealed that Breakker is set to be a central figure heading into the Netflix era.

Bron Breakker has set his sights on dominating the Raw roster. He recently targeted Ricochet, but his aggression didn’t stop there. While attacking Ricochet during a match with Ilja Dragunov, Breakker also took aim at Dragunov by spearing him as well.
On the latest RAW, Breakker defeated Ricochet in a match. However, his attempt to further punish Ricochet with steel steps was interrupted by Dragunov, who landed a punch on Breakker. Backstage officials intervened to prevent the fight from escalating. This confrontation has led to a singles match between Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov on the upcoming edition of RAW.
Interestingly, these two competitors have a history in NXT, where Dragunov previously defeated Breakker in their last encounter.
