6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE Raw (7 Oct - Results & Review)

4. Badass Bron Returns

Face it: “Badass Bron” sounds much better than “Sportsmanship Breakker.”

Last week, Bron Breakker earnestly congratulated Jey Uso for defeating him for the Intercontinental Championship the week prior, shook his hand and left. He later went face-to-face with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, leaving fans to assume that Bron had turned babyface and was headed down a new path.

Then Breakker struck on Monday night.

Bron went on a spear rampage after the IC title match between Jey and Xavier Woods, taking out Uso, then put down Kofi Kingston when he tried to save the champ. Finally, he hit his terminal speed spear outside the ring on Woods (who had refused to go help Jey).

In a bit of smart booking, Jackie Redmond tried to ask Breakker backstage why he had a sudden change of heart – asking the question everyone wanted answered – and he just didn’t answer the question. There’s a reason for this, and fans will very likely get that answer soon. (Maybe in Vince McMahon’s WWE, we’d get the “I don’t owe you an explanation” line, but that’s been curtailed under Triple H.)

As we saw in NXT right before his callup, Breakker will make a great babyface, but right now, he’s perfectly cast as a chaos agent.
