Since Bron Breakker defeated Seth Rollins in October, he has set his sights on capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, currently held by CM Punk. After pinning Punk at WWE Survivor Series: War Games, Breakker now has a prime opportunity to claim the title. WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray believes Breakker is ready to prove himself as a main event star and says it’s time to stop hesitating and “throw him in the deep end” to see what he can deliver.
Ray was highly impressed by Breakker’s recent promo on WWE Raw, suggesting that Breakker should decisively “destroy” Punk in their upcoming world title match on January 5th to create a shocking moment in WWE history. He compared this potential upset to the stunned reactions when Goldberg defeated Brock Lesnar in just 90 seconds at Survivor Series 2016. Ray predicts that such a dominant win would elevate Breakker’s career to new heights while giving Punk more momentum as a beloved top face.
During the promo, surrounded by his group The Vision, Breakker expressed his frustration over how easily he pinned Punk and addressed Punk’s attempt to derail his career with a brutal attack. Bully Ray admired Breakker’s raw intensity, especially his anger and determination as he slammed the microphone down, warning just how dangerous he felt in that moment. Breakker vowed to defeat Punk decisively on January 5th, signaling a big shift in their rivalry—while Punk may have to rethink his claim of being “the best in the world.”
Fan Take: This storyline is hugely significant for WWE fans because it positions Bron Breakker as a fresh and fierce new contender poised to shake up the main event scene. If Breakker delivers a shocking, dominant victory over Punk, it could mark the beginning of a thrilling new era and elevate the drama and stakes in WWE’s championship picture.
