After WWE RAW went off the air last night, Bron Breakker was slapped by a two-time champion. A heated exchange of words escalated into a near brawl between the two superstars.
Adam Pearce made an important announcement on the December 9, 2024, edition of the red brand. The RAW GM confirmed that The Dog of WWE will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Ludwig Kaiser on next week's flagship show.
The two-time NXT Tag Team Champion and Breakker came face-to-face during the 27-year-old's interview with Cathy Kelley on RAW Talk. The reigning champion took jabs at the German star, referring to Ludwig Kaiser as "Gunther's watchdog."
However, Bron Breakker's words angered The European Elegance, who slapped the Intercontinental Champion in a fit of rage. Before the situation could escalate further, security and officials intervened to prevent a physical altercation between the two RAW stars.

Ludwig Kaiser sends a message to Bron Breakker after WWE RAW
Bron Breakker and Ludwig Kaiser clashed at Survivor Series: WarGames in a Triple Threat Match that also featured Sheamus. Unfortunately, during the premium live event in Vancouver, Canada, on November 30th, The Celtic Warrior sustained a cracked rib.
In Sheamus' absence, the Imperium member will face Bron Breakker in a singles match for the Intercontinental Title next Monday. After slapping the 27-year-old champion, The European Elegance took to his X account to send a message to Bron Breakker, who was unable to retaliate to the slap.
"👋🏼💥 See you next week, Bron!" he wrote.

Notably, Gunther instructed the two-time NXT Tag Team Champion that he would handle matters independently related to his WWE World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat Match against Damian Priest and Finn Balor at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14. Following The Ring General's orders, Ludwig Kaiser proceeded to provoke Bron Breakker in typical Imperium fashion.
It remains to be seen if Gunther and Kaiser succeed in getting all the gold for the Imperium faction in the coming week.
