Top WWE champion to miss Bash in Berlin despite capturing a coveted title at SummerSlam? Exploring the potential
WWE's Bash in Berlin premium live event is around the corner, and four matches have been made official so far. The latest edition of Monday Night RAW was the penultimate episode of the red brand for the upcoming spectacle, where the feuds and storylines shifted gears. However, it looks like a top WWE champion is set to miss Bash in Berlin despite riding high on momentum.
The name in question is Bron Breakker. This week on RAW, WWE announced a tournament to determine his next opponent for the Intercontinental Championship. With the contest beginning next week on the red brand, which is also the go-home edition of RAW, the promotion does not seem to have any plans to feature Breakker on the card for Bash in Berlin.
It is because the tournament will likely continue for a week or two after the impending PLE. Hence, this seems to indicate that the 26-year-old will miss the spectacular event in Berlin despite capturing the coveted title at SummerSlam. With Bron Breakker's red-hot momentum, Triple H should have him on the card.
Nonetheless, Bron's first title defense came against Sami Zayn last week at the main event of the flagship brand in what was a thrilling 'Two-out-of-Three Falls' Match.
It will be interesting to see how the Intercontinental Championship picture shapes up on Monday Night RAW in the coming weeks, with a Number One Contenders tournament on the horizon.
Potential name who could challenge Bron Breakker after Bash in Berlin
WWE's recent announcement regarding the tournament to determine the next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship has raised a wave of excitement among fans. However, the company did not reveal the brackets or the list of superstars participating in the contest.
There are a few names who could challenge Bron Breakker for the coveted title after Bash in Berlin. The name that seems to be at the top of the list is Ilja Dragunov. The Mad Dragon has a bitter history with the reigning champion, and he never got a chance to settle the scores with Breakker.
Dragunov could win the tournament and challenge the 26-year-old star for the Intercontinental Championship after the upcoming spectacle. Another name that could be Bron Breakker's next opponent is Jey Uso. The Yeet Master confirmed his participation in the tournament, stating that he is all set to capture the coveted title.
It will be interesting to see who participates in the tournament next week and goes on to earn a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. The go-home edition of RAW before Bash in Berlin will undoubtedly be an explosive show with major implications.
