Second-generation star's future is in WWE's hands after major loss, says Rikishi
Triple H brought a new wave of changes under his WWE regime, and the company seems stronger than ever under his leadership. Recently, Hall of Famer Rikishi said Bron Breakker's future was in the management's hands after the recent loss.
On the September 23 edition of RAW, Bron Breakker took his second pinfall defeat on WWE's main roster when he lost the Intercontinental Championship to Jey Uso. The rising star has primarily remained dominant in the Stamford-based promotion, and there seemed to be a tease for what's next for Breakker in the coming weeks.
Speaking on Rikishi Fatu Off The Top, the WWE Hall of Famer spoke highly of Bron Breakker following the loss. However, the veteran pointed out that the second-generation star's future was in the management's hands and how they decided to move forward as a heel or a babyface.
"I think either way Bron [Breakker] goes, being a heel or a babyface, if they decide, he's going to be huge, man. He's going to be one good talent on the roster. Main event level," Rikishi said. [From 22:25 to 22:40]

What's next for Bron Breakker on WWE television?
Earlier this year, Bron Breakker joined the main roster as a SmackDown Superstar but then was picked by Monday Night RAW during the annual WWE Draft. The rising star went rampant on the red brand when Adam Pearce gave him too few opportunities in the beginning.
This led him to a feud with Sami Zayn in the coming months for the Intercontinental Championship. After losing to Zayn the first time he avenged his loss by bulldozing the former champion in the rematch. Breakker then started a feud with Jey Uso.
Unfortunately, the second-generation star lost the Intercontinental Championship in what turned out to be a 51-day reign to Main Event Jey. After the loss, he confronted the new champion and praised him before leaving the ring, teasing a babyface turn.
Later, he crossed paths with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Ludwig Kaiser. The two teased a potential feud or a match before going their separate ways on Monday Night RAW.
