Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship is scheduled for tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW. An amusing point about this match is that whoever walks away with the win could leave the other looking weak. Both superstars are over with the crowd, maybe Main Event Jey more than Breakker, but both deserve the victory. It's both their time to shine!
For tonight's bout, one can argue for both men, and one should argue for both men due to the immense potential they've shown as champions.
Here are 3 reasons why Bron Breakker should dethrone Jey Uso:
#3. Jey Uso might need to come back to The Bloodline story
The Stamford-based promotion has made it clear that The Yeet Master will return to The Bloodline Saga at some point. Right now is probably when Roman Reigns needs him the most, but Uso is the Intercontinental Champion on RAW. He cannot take that championship over to WWE SmackDown.
So, a smooth way for this transition is to have Bron Breakker dethrone Main Event Jey so he is clear to move to the blue brand and align with The OTC.
#2. Bron Breakker cannot afford another loss
When The YEET Master defeated Breakker for the title, his credibility as being unstoppable took a massive hit. Jey Uso did not need the championship to be over with the crowd, the 'YEET' movement had fans blowing the roof off for him week after week. However, Breakker needed the championship belt around his waist to continue his domination in the ring.
The 26-year-old superstar cannot take another loss to his name. He needs to re-establish himself as a dominant force that is capable of taking down any obstacle in his path.
#1. Keeping the fans invested with 'hot potato' booking
If WWE keeps shifting the championship from one man to the other, it might lose its value over time. However, sometimes the 'hot potato' booking helps with pushing potential superstars and keeping the fans invested about who becomes the champion to hold onto it for longer.
Bron Breakker taking the title off Jey Uso within a month of Main Event Jey securing it might bring more interest to the Intercontinental Championship. Furthermore, the company can effectively bring in more superstars to the mix with more eyes on the championship.
Here are 3 reasons why Bron Breakker SHOULD NOT defeat Jey Uso
#3. Jey Uso should not look like a placeholder champion
If Breakker dethrones Jey Uso tonight on WWE RAW, it might portray Main Event Jey as someone who was a placeholder champion until the wrestling juggernaut found someone else to push as champion, or bring back Breakker after a burnout period.
Main Event Jey needs to be showcased as a proper singles champion, and for that, he must hold onto the Intercontinental Championship for more than a month with more successful title defenses. So far, he has only defended the championship once on WWE TV, against Xavier Woods.
#2. Fans will storm social media if The YEET Master is dethroned
WWE is about giving fans what they want, but also keeping them on their toes. If Breakker dethrones Uso tonight, the WWE Universe will react negatively to it since the common belief is that the former Bloodline member deserves to be a champion.
Previously, fans have flooded social media with messages that support deserving superstars which has forced WWE to change course. If Breakker dethrones Uso and fans storm social media, WWE will find itself in quite a pickle since it cannot just put the Intercontinental Championship back on Jey Uso.
#1. It can be the end of Jey Uso's singles push
As a singles star, Main Event Jey has come a long way. He built his star power with the fans by himself and quickly became one of WWE's top babyfaces. It would be rather unjust if the Stamford-based promotion just brings his singles push to a halt during the peak of its course.
If Breakker dethrones Uso on WWE RAW, that is exactly what will happen. His singles journey will come to an end since the objective for it will have been met, i.e. become a singles champion.
