Bron Breakker defeated Sami Zayn at WWE SummerSlam 2024 to end The Underdog from the Underground's Intercontinental Championship reign. The second-generation superstar took just five minutes to seal the biggest win of his career.
Trending
It is likely that WWE will book the 26-year-old to have a dominant reign, so he may face some top names as the Intercontinental Champion.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at four potential opponents for the new champion.
#4. Brock Lesnar returns to face Bron Breakker for the first time ever
Bron Breakker has been one of the most dominant superstars on the WWE main roster. Many fans see him as the guy who could replace Brock Lesnar in the future.
The second-generation star reportedly took the spot of The Beast Incarnate in the 2024 Men's Royal Rumble match. This was due to WWE scrapping plans for The Beast following his alleged association with Vince McMahon in the Janel Grant lawsuit.
Breakker also got Paul Heyman's approval when he arrived on the main roster, giving him another link to Lesnar.
The Intercontinental Championship is a title Lesnar never won in his career. If Lesnar returns to WWE, he could go after Breakker because he would have many reasons to do so, with the title being the main one.
#3. Ilja Dragunov
Bron Breakker and Ilja Dragunov have been feuding throughout the summer. The two men have had some great matches, but Breakker has had the upper hand on The Mad Dragon so far.
Ilja Dragunov is a strong contender to be Breakker's first opponent for the Intercontinental Championship. Their feud could begin as soon as the RAW after SummerSlam.
#2. Ludwig Kaiser
Ludwig Kaiser became a big obstacle in Bron Breakker's pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship. However, the second-generation superstar dealt with him and forced him out of action.
In a match with Breakker on WWE RAW back in June, Kaiser suffered a broken rib and has been on the sidelines since then.
It is possible that the IMPERIUM member returns ahead of Bash in Berlin to challenge Bron for the Intercontinental Championship in the former's home country.
#1. Sheamus
Sheamus has never won the Intercontinental Championship in his decorated career. The Celtic Warrior got many opportunities to win the title, but he always failed to do so.
Both Bron Breakker and Sheamus were after Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Championship, but the former NXT Champion was the one who succeeded in his pursuit of the title. However, Sheamus will not give up on it, so he will probably come after the new champion now.
Breakker vs. Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship is likely going to happen this year.
