WWE Monday Night RAW last night featured an incredible crowning moment. After spending over a decade on the main roster and a year as one of the most over singles competitors in the promotion, Jey Uso finally pulled off the big one.

The YEET Master managed to win his first-ever singles title in the Stamford-based promotion. He did so by defeating Bron Breakker. The two clashed in the main event of Monday Night RAW, and Jey secured the title with a perfect Uso Splash.

This outcome was a major surprise to some fans, as they assumed Bron would hold on to the gold for a long time. He won the belt from Sami Zayn at SummerSlam in August 2024, making this reign somewhat short.

While Bron's loss was unfortunate, what is done is done, and there is no going back. Now, what matters is what's next for the 26-year-old. This article will look at a few directions for Breakker following his shocking defeat on RAW.

Below are four directions for Bron Breakker following his WWE RAW loss:


#4. Bron Breakker could win back the WWE Intercontinental Championship

As noted, Bron Breakker won the prized WWE Intercontinental Championship by defeating Sami Zayn at The Biggest Party of The Summer in Cleveland, Ohio. He then went on to defeat the former champion again in a Two Out of Three Falls Match on RAW.

Most assumed that this would be the start of a long title reign for the former NXT Champion, but that didn't happen. Instead, he lost the belt to Jey Uso on RAW last night. However, this doesn't mean he can't win the belt back.

Fans may forget that Bron lost to Sami at Money in the Bank before his crowning moment at SummerSlam. Sometimes Breakker's hubris gets the better of him. When he locks in, however, the 26-year-old becomes a force to be reckoned with. This could be bad news for Jey Uso if Bron comes hunting the new champion.


#3. He could turn babyface

Bron Breakker has been a heel since being called up to WWE's main roster. Be it destroying enhancement talent, belittling Ilja Dragunov, jumping Jey Uso, or brutalizing Sami Zayn, Bron has displayed all of the classic heel traits.

Despite that, fans seem to not hate Breakker. Sure, they might boo him compared to their favorites, but they also cheer some of his exciting moves. Beyond that, the WWE Universe does the Bron Breakker dog bark regularly.

It might not be worth it for Triple H and company officials to keep fighting what is clearly a growing sentiment: fans like Bron. Hence, the 26-year-old may turn babyface following his loss to Jey Uso, unraveling a new chapter in his story. Perhaps he can even make amends with Sami and Jey.


#2. Bron could join The Judgment Day

The Judgment Day is one of the top factions in WWE. The group is currently comprised of Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, reigning Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio, and Carlito.

Interestingly, Bron Breakker and The Judgment Day share a common enemy in Jey Uso. The newly crowned IC Champion has aligned with The Terror Twins (Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest) in recent weeks in the duo's war against the heel faction.

For that reason, it may be wise for Bron to join The Judgment Day. This would give him much-needed backup while also providing Liv and Co. with the muscle and intensity they currently lack. The six stars could be nearly unstoppable as a group.


#1. He could challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship

Gunther is on top of the world in WWE. After having record-breaking title reigns with the Intercontinental Championship and United Kingdom Championship, the Austrian won the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.

The Ring General has had a successful reign as World Heavyweight Champion so far. He retained the prized gold against Randy Orton at Bash in Berlin.

Notably, only three people have beaten Gunther in World Wrestling Entertainment: Sami Zayn, Ilja Dragunov, and Bron Breakker. The 26-year-old defeated The Ring General in NXT in April 2022. Bron's focus may move from the Intercontinental Title to the World Heavyweight Championship, as the talented star knows he can defeat The Ring General when push comes to shove.
