Bron Breakker successfully defends title for the first time ever on WWE RAW

Bron Breakker recently won the Intercontinental Championship at the WWE SummerSlam Premium Live Event. He has already successfully defended the title on RAW.

Bron Breakker has proven himself to be a beast of an athlete. He is a freak of nature capable of performing incredible feats of strength. After impressing in NXT for several years, he was called up to the main roster, where he has established himself as a major star.

It didn't long for Breakker to get himself an Intercontinental Championship match against Sami Zayn. While he lost their first encounter, Breakker managed to win the title at SummerSlam.

Tonight on WWE RAW, Breakker defended the title against Sami Zayn in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match. In the beginning, Breakker got a bit complacent, which helped Sami hit his Helluva kick for the win. However, Breakker made a quick comeback in the match and hit Sami with two devastating spears to get his first pinfall.

During the closing moments of the bout, Sami went for a dive off the top rope, but Bron Breakker hit his spear in mid-air and pinned him for the win. This was his first title defense ever on RAW, and he came out on top.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
