30-year-old WWE star to target Sami Zayn as a pawn in revenge against Bron Breakker? Swerve explored
Sami Zayn suffered a crushing defeat at SummerSlam, losing the Intercontinental Championship to Bron Breakker. However, the two will lock horns in a rematch on Monday Night RAW next week. WWE could pull off a massive twist during this title match that could leave fans berserk. A 30-year-old star could invade the match and launch a ferocious assault on Zayn.
The name in question is Ilja Dragunov. The Mad Dragon currently has a very good relationship with Zayn. However, things could change in the blink of an eye on RAW. In a stunning turn of events, Dragunov could ambush the former Honorary Uce and launch an attack on the latter during the match to clear his path to Breakker.
A major motive behind The Unbesiegbar's potential betrayal is his unfinished business with the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion. Ilja Dragunov may realize that as long as Sami Zayn is around, he will neither receive a shot at the title nor get a chance to settle his scores with Bron Breakker.
With Zayn standing in his way, Dragunov may feel compelled to eliminate the former from the equation to clear his route to the Intercontinental Championship. He could use the Canadian superstar as a pawn in his ploy against the newly crowned champion. Ilja Dragunov sidelining Sami would clear his path to finish his business with Bron Breakker.
However, the above scenario is entirely speculation. It will be interesting to see whether The Mad Dragon makes that move to get a shot at redemption against Breakker.
Sami Zayn might embark on a new chapter soon
Next week could be the last opportunity for Sami Zayn to capture the Intercontinental Championship from Bron Breakker. With him around the title picture for a considerable amount of time, WWE might finally herald a new chapter for the 40-year-old star on RAW.
There's a possibility that he will begin a new storyline with Jey Uso on the red brand in the coming weeks. Both superstars were seen together in a backstage segment on RAW this week, where The Yeet Master tried to cheer Sami up after his defeat at SummerSlam.
After wrapping up his feud with Bron Breakker, Sami Zayn could form a tag team with Jey Uso, and the two could go on the hunt for the World Tag Team Championship. However, WWE could also pull off a massive swerve and keep Sami around the Intercontinental Title picture for now.
The Stamford-based promotion could cook a Triple Threat Match between Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Ilja Dragunov for WWE's upcoming PLE, Bash in Berlin. It will be interesting to see how the storyline develops in the coming weeks.
