3 reasons Bron Breakker must win the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam 

When Bron Breakker moved to RAW, there were a lot of expectations from him. While Breakker did carry his attitude and violence to the red brand, the only big setback came when he failed to beat Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn at Money in the Bank 2024.

However, Breakker can now let bygones be bygones and focus on the bigger picture. At SummerSlam 2024, Breakker will be facing Sami Zayn in a rematch for the prestigious Intercontinental Championship. This contest will be a make-or-break situation for Breakker.

In this article, we will look at three reasons why Bron Breakker must win at SummerSlam.

#3. Winning the Intercontinental Championship can give Bron Breakker a major boost

Bron Breakker made his main roster debut in February on SmackDown and later moved to RAW during the draft. However, what's important to note is that Breakker has not spent a lot of time on the main roster. While he has the skills to get fans behind him, Breakker also needs something else that could give him a boost.

This something else could be winning the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. By booking him to win the title, WWE will project him as the next big thing, and this could also benefit the Stamford-based promotion in the future.

#2. Bron Breakker could prepare to become the face of the company

Given how Bron Breakker has been booked on the main roster, it's evident WWE looks at him as a superstar for the future. If Breakker continues the way he is now, at some point, WWE will book him to become a World Champion. However, it's often difficult to deal with the pressure that comes with being in that position.

Since the Intercontinental Championship is a singles title, and Gunther increased the prestige of that belt with his 666-day reign as champion, holding a belt like that would benefit Breakker. It would prepare him for the challenges that will come when he becomes World Champion.

#1. Classic showdown against Ilja Dragunov

Breakker and Ilja Dragunov are both on RAW, and it's clear they don't like each other. The two have clashed on several occasions, and this rivalry is something that began during their days at NXT. Given how heated the feud is, at some point, it has to be settled.

Hence, if WWE books Breakker to become the Intercontinental Champion, then they could set up Ilja Dragunov to be the next challenger in line. It will be interesting to see Breakker and Dragunov go up against each other for a title on the main roster.
