The next chapter of Bron Breakker's Intercontinental Championship reign began on the recent episode of WWE RAW when the IC Champion announced an IC title tournament. The winner of this tournament will earn a title shot against Breakker in the coming weeks. However, the participants of this tournament have yet to be revealed. So far, only Jey Uso has declared himself a contestant.
Usually, tournaments like these feature eight superstars. With the YEET Master already announced as an entrant, let's discuss seven other superstars who could potentially be part of this tournament.
#7. #6. Sheamus and Pete Dunne could be part of Bron Breakker's tournament
Sheamus and Pete Dunne delivered a banger of a match during the recent edition of WWE RAW. After a brutal battle, the Celtic Warrior scored the victory in a breathtaking showdown. Given this impressive match, it's likely that WWE could add both of these stars to the upcoming IC Title tournament.
Sheamus already has a decorated career in the Stamford-based promotion, however, the Intercontinental Championship is the only title he has left to win. So his inclusion in the tournament would be no surprise. On the other hand, Pete Dunne's strong performance on RAW makes him a compelling candidate to be part of the tournament as well.
#5. Xavier Woods could be part of this IC tournament
Things have been going downhill for Xavier Woods on the red brand, and many believe he could soon turn heel on Kofi Kingston, potentially leading to the end of The New Day. The IC Title tournament provides a great stage for WWE to plant more seeds for Xavier's heel turn.
This could happen if he is included in the tournament but fails to advance due to an unintentional distraction from Kofi Kingston or Odyssey Jones. This scenario could push Woods to turn heel and eventually break up The New Day.
Given this angle, Xavier Woods is surely an ideal candidate to be part of the IC Title tournament against Bron Breakker.
#4. #3. Otis and Rey Mysterio might participate in Bron Breakker's IC Title tournament
Otis and Rey Mysterio are also likely candidates to participate in the Intercontinental Championship tournament. The Master of the 619 has been absent from the red brand for the past few weeks, and competing in the tournament could be a great way to mark his return.
On the other hand, Otis' feud with Chad Gable seems to have come to an end, and including him in the IC Title tournament could be an excellent way to launch him into a single run.
Additionally, the huge babyface reactions Otis has been receiving from the crowd further increase the likelihood of his inclusion in the tournament.
#2. #1. Ludwig Kaiser and Dragon Lee could be great choices
Ludwig Kaiser’s singles run in WWE has shown significant growth over the past few weeks. The Imperium member even wrestled Randy Orton on the recent episode of RAW, giving him tough competition. With this momentum, Ludwig Kaiser is a strong candidate to be included in Bron Breakker's IC Title tournament.
Additionally, Dragon Lee hasn't appeared on RAW since mid-June, with his recent matches taking place at live events or on WWE Main Event. Including him in Bron Breakker's title tournament would be an excellent way to bring him back to RAW television.
