Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker will compete in a surprising matchup after his recent attack on Jey Uso on RAW. A few weeks ago, Breakker lost his Intercontinental Championship to Uso. Despite his 51-day dominant reign, the latter unexpectedly dethroned him.
After the loss, Breakker interrupted Jey Uso’s celebration recently. In a surprising gesture, he congratulated and showed respect to the victor. The two shook hands without much animosity. Bron Breakker appeared to turn babyface following this move. He even confronted Gunther backstage and teased a challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
However, this week on WWE RAW, Breakker made a shocking move. After Jey Uso’s victory over Xavier Woods, Breakker stormed the ring and attacked Uso. Kofi Kingston tried to defend Uso but was beaten down by Breakker, who also speared Woods outside the ring as Woods looking out for Kingston.
It is now evident that Bron Breakker is far from finished with Jey Uso and has his sights set on reclaiming the Intercontinental title. Amidst this, WWE announced a surprising matchup for Breakker.
