Bill Apter wants a match between WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther and Bron Breakker

Bill Apter recently questioned why Bron Breakker wasn't called up to the main roster in the draft.

The veteran was surprised to see that the former NXT Champion didn't join the likes of Grayson Waller, Indi Hartwell, and other NXT stars on the main roster. Apter said:

​

"Why was Bron Breakker not drafted? They took so many people from NXT and a lot of people that no one knows unless you really follow NXT, and a lot of people don't. When I sat there, and I watched the two nights of SmackDown and RAW of the Draft, I was like, 'No but, how's this possible?'"

Apter further mentioned that he wanted to see Breakker join the main roster for a potential match against Intercontinental Champion Gunther.

​

"I wanted to see him come to one of the major brands and Bron Breakker vs. Gunther I think would have been a hell of a match,"

At WWE NXT Spring Breakin', Breakker defeated Andre Chase in a singles match. A feud against Chase-U was his first since turning heel by betraying Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams.
