Bron Breakker is determined to win the gold.
On the June 17 episode of WWE Raw, Bron Breakker confronted WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn. He then faced Sheamus in a match to potentially earn a title shot. Ludwig Kaiser interfered and attacked Sheamus. Breakker then dropped Sheamus and Kaiser with post-match Spears, and he also shoved Zayn.
Speaking on Raw Talk, Bron Breakker discussed his match against Sheamus.
"There’s nothing that I would rather be doing on a Monday night than getting into an absolute fistfight with an absolute legend of our business. Sheamus, I gotta give it to you, brother. You earned my respect tonight. You taught me what it means to have banger after banger, what fight night actually means. You’re a first-ballot Hall of Famer, there’s no question. But you’re lucky that Kaiser got involved because the result would have been the same either way. It would have been Spear, one, two, three," Breakker said.
Breakker then sent a message to Sami Zayn. He spoke highly of the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion by highlighting his accolades. Breakker also shared his belief that Zayn does not need the title, whereas the championship needs him because he's the future.
"Sami Zayn, look, Sami, you’ve had an incredible career. You’ve been on top of WWE for over a decade, you’ve main-event WrestleMania, won world tag team gold, multiple-time Intercontinental Champion. There’s not very much around here that you haven’t accomplished. But you wanna know what the difference between you and me is? You are well-fed. You’ve made millions of dollars since being here. Truth be told, you don’t need the Intercontinental Championship at this stage of your career. That Intercontinental Championship needs me because whether you like it or not, Bron Breakker is the future of WWE. I am carrying it on my back to ensure that WWE has a home ten, fifteen years from today. Whether you like it or not, Sami, I’m coming for the Intercontinental Championship because it is my job, my legacy to create my own legacy for me, for Bron Breakker and to carry my family’s on in the process of doing so. I will do whatever it takes to get there because it is what I have to do," Breakker said.
