48-year-old loves Sami Zayn but says the WWE Intercontinental Champion will lose to Bron Breakker
Sami Zayn might have been an impressive WWE Intercontinental Champion thus far, but his reign is in danger of ending at Money in the Bank 2024. Even though he is a massive supporter of the reigning champion, former WWE writer Freddie Prinze Jr. believes Bron Breakker would dethrone Sami Zayn.
Zayn was chosen to end Gunther's historical reign, and since then, The Underdog from the Underground has been a formidable titleholder, having successfully defended it on multiple shows.
Sami won his feud against Chad Gable and is heading for possibly his biggest challenge yet as IC Champion. The beloved babyface will take on Bron Breakker at Money in the Bank, and retaining against the former NXT Champion won't be easy.
Freddie Prinze Jr. shared his predictions for the upcoming WWE MITB PLE. Prinze said that despite loving Sami Zayn's work, he couldn't see Bron Breakker losing the highly-anticipated Intercontinental Championship match.
"I do love Sami Zayn. It's hard to pick against Sami Zayn. When you're in a position of who you want and who you think, it's always tricky, right? But I'm here to make people money. I'm not here to deal with my feelings. I'm here to make people money, in case you bet, and I'm going to actually pick Bron Breakker to beat Sami Zayn and become the Intercontinental Champion," he said. [8:39-9:25]
Freddie Prinze Jr. has enjoyed the WWE stories of Sami Zayn and Bron Breakker
While on one side, Sami Zayn has gone back to being the quintessential underdog babyface, Bron Breakker has quickly become one of the most intimidating stars on RAW.
He hasn't even been on the main roster for a long time, but Breakker has already made several WWE stars pay for getting in his way.
The characters of both men meshed well in a storyline, and Freddie Prinze Jr., who spent several years on WWE's creative team, liked how Sami and Bron's on-screen stories have developed in recent times.
"I like this story a lot; they've [WWE] been telling with Sami Zayn. Ever since he's been with The Bloodline and all the way through today, I like the story they are telling with Bron Breakker. They have turned him into this absolute freaking maniac that nobody can control, and if you're going to get in his way, he is going to freaking kill you. But this is a hard one to pick," he said.

Bron Breakker is seemingly being fast-tracked to superstardom, and his journey to the top could potentially involve a monumental title victory over Sami Zayn at the Money in the Bank PLE.
