The latest edition of WWE Monday Night RAW featured a Gauntlet Match to determine the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. The contest saw Penta, Bron Breakker, Jey Uso, LA Knight, and CM Punk compete for a chance to face Gunther at SummerSlam.
Penta and Breakker began the match, and the former NXT Champion prevailed. The Dog of WWE ended up defeating LA Knight and Jey Uso in an impressive outing before finally losing to CM Punk. Despite the defeat, the 27-year-old has earned plaudits for his efforts backstage.
Fightful Select reported that Bron Breakker got a “ton of praise” for “carrying” the Gauntlet Match on RAW. Breakker pinned Penta after delivering a Spear mid-air, before coming out on top in a grueling battle against Knight, thanks to another Spear.
Breakker’s match against Jey Uso did put him in jeopardy, but Bronson Reed came to his aid, allowing him to pick up a third pinfall. Uso ended up helping CM Punk against the heel duo as The Second City Saint punched his ticket to SummerSlam.
The match allowed Breakker to showcase his strengths, and The Dog of WWE looked like a star despite suffering defeat at the end.
Paul Heyman called Bron Breakker the Next Big Thing on WWE RAW
Before the Gauntlet Match on Monday Night RAW, Gunther made his way to the ring to talk about his win over Goldberg while questioning who is next. This led to Bron Breakker coming out to the ring alongside Paul Heyman.
The Oracle cut a promo and hailed Breakker as “the next big thing,” the exact nickname he once used for Brock Lesnar.
The creative team’s decision to have Breakker run the Gauntlet has put him in a bigger spotlight, and it seems the company is heavily investing in his talents. With veterans like Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins by his side, the future looks bright for the second-generation wrestler.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.
While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.
Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.
If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.
When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
