4 Signs Bron Breakker will lose the Intercontinental Championship at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames
WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 is looking like an absolutely stacked card. The focal point of the PLE will be the Men's and Women's WarGames Matches.
In addition to the two WarGames Matches, there will be three championship bouts. Gunther and Damian Priest will fight over the World Heavyweight Title, LA Knight and Shinsuke Nakamura will clash over the United States Championship, and the Intercontinental Title will also be on the line.
The Intercontinental Title bout will see reigning champion Bron Breakker take on Ludwig Kaiser and Sheamus in a Triple Threat Match. This comes after all three have had issues with each other for months now.
While many might expect Breakker to simply retain his title, some indicators point to the Intercontinental Championship changing hands. This article will look at four signs that The Dog of WWE may lose his prized gold tonight.
Below are four signs Bron Breakker will lose the Intercontinental Championship at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames.
#4. Sheamus deserves his moment with the Intercontinental Title and has yet to have it
Sheamus has done nearly everything there is to do in pro wrestling. The Irish superstar is a multi-time WWE World Champion. He's held numerous tag team belts and the United States Championship. Sheamus has also won King of the Ring, the Money in the Bank briefcase, and the Men's Royal Rumble Match.
However, one thing The Celtic Warrior has yet to do in WWE is win the Intercontinental Championship. For over two years now, Sheamus has made it clear that winning the iconic title is his major goal.
The fact that Sheamus has yet to have his moment with the IC Title may be a sign that the championship will change hands tonight. Triple H won't book Sheamus to chase it forever; the 46-year-old has to win the belt eventually.
#3. Bron Breakker wouldn't need to be pinned
Sheamus, Ludwig Kaiser, and Bron Breakker will be fighting over the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Match later tonight. This means there will be no disqualifications, and whichever star gets the first successful pinfall or submission will be crowned the champion.
There is a catch, of course. WWE champions going into Triple Threat Matches are at a major disadvantage. The champion doesn't need to be involved in the finish to lose their title. For example, Ludwig could pin Sheamus, and thus Breakker would lose his belt without being the one who was pinned.
While that can be frustrating, it can also be a way to have a champion lose their title without taking a loss. Triple H and company officials may have plans to take the belt away from Breakker without having him pinned. If that were the case, the Triple Threat Match tonight could give us a new champion. Why else have The Dog of WWE in a Triple Threat Match if he is just going to win?
#2. Ludwig Kaiser is seemingly being pushed by WWE
While Sheamus can certainly be the one who dethrones Bron Breakker tonight, a different star may leave WWE Survivor Series: WarGames with the gold. Ludwig Kaiser might get the win.
The German star has slowly been pushed as a singles star over the past year. Recently, that push has been furthered, thanks to World Heavyweight Champion Gunther encouraging Kaiser to go out and be his own man.
With all signs pointing to a continued push on WWE television, this may be an indication that he'll walk away with the Intercontinental Championship tonight. If Kaiser brings the belt to Imperium, he and Gunther will truly dominate the men's side of Monday Night RAW.
#1. Bron Breakker has lost and regained titles quickly in the past
Bron Breakker has an interesting history with singles titles in the Stamford-based company. In January 2022, the 27-year-old won the coveted NXT Championship but went on to lose it to Nic Nemeth (FKA Dolph Ziggler) in just over two months. However, he regained the title in April 2022.
On the main roster, Bron replicated this formula with the Intercontinental Championship. He defeated Sami Zayn to win the title at SummerSlam 2024, only to lose it to Jey Uso on RAW in September. However, Bron defeated The YEET Master and regained the prized gold the following month.
Given that Bron has the ability to quickly regain his title, the formula may continue again. Signs point to Bron losing his belt to either Sheamus or Ludwig, but if history is any indication, he'll soon have the gold back around his waist anyway.
