Sami Zayn Retains IC Title, Bron Breakker Suffers First Main Roster Loss At WWE MITB – Wrestling Inc.
Sami Zayn successfully retained his Intercontinental Championship over a disgruntled Bron Breakker at Saturday’s Money in the Bank premium live event. Breakker had been angry since “WWE Raw” General Manager Adam Pearce didn’t put him in the King of the Ring tournament, and fought his way to a championship match in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, only to earn his first pinfall loss on the main roster since being called up from “WWE NXT” at the 2024 Royal Rumble.
