WWE Backlash 2024: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True
8. And Not Even To Chad Gable!
Especially to this dude.
Look, Bronson Reed has skills, and he deserves the chance to develop his 'big mean boy doing big mean things' character on TV for the rest of 2024. That's all true, but Reed isn't on the level of Sami Zayn yet. Hell, he isn't even as interesting a challenger as recent rogue Chad Gable.
People are crying out see Gable go after Sami one-on-one, and it'd be a real pity if WWE didn't book that on PLE at least once. Bronson has been crudely inserted as a third wheel, and yet he could leave France with a surprise Intercontinental Title reign to shout about.
That'd take everyone by surprise, but it's hardly inconceivable. WWE has booked shock title wins before, and Hunter may well view this as Reed's ticket towards the top. That'd totally crush everything Sami and Chad have been working towards, because their rivalry means bugger all without the belt.
