Bron Breakker talks winning the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam.
At SummerSlam on Saturday evening, Bron Breakker would challenge for the Intercontinental Championship for the second Premium Live Event in a row after coming up short at Money In The Bank previously. However, on this night, Breakker would win his first main roster championship in WWE as he dethroned Sami Zayn with a pair of brutal spears.
During the SummerSlam post show, Breakker joined the panel and discussed winning the title and his opponent Sami Zayn, giving a big shout-out to the former Intercontinental Champion.
“I’m gonna carry this championship with the most prestige and honor that I can hold it to the highest standard and the highest level that we can do it on Monday Night Raw. I’m hoping to elevate this championship along with myself along the way. I’m looking forward to it. I can’t wait to get to work, challenge myself and put myself against the best and defend this championship, this prestigious title that’s had so much history and so many great champions. I think we all should pay our respects and big shout-out to Sami Zayn. I’ve said it before, I’ve said it during this period of time that I’ve had with Sami. Sami has been on top for quite some time. He’s main-evented WrestleMania, he’s had the Intercontinental Championship multiple times, World Tag Team Champion. He’s had a Hall of Fame career. There’s no doubt he’s gonna be in the Hall of Fame one day. He gave me an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship when I was a new kid. No one really knew what I was capable of or what I was gonna do up here or any of that. He gave me an opportunity, he gave me a chance at the Intercontinental Championship, and I think I we all have to really respect that."
Breakker was not the only first time champion, as LA Knight also captured the United States Championship at SummerSlam. You can check out his reaction to his title win here.
