If this week’s episode of Raw was any indication, Bron Breakker is going to go places on the red brand. Incensed after being left out of the King of the Ring tournament, the 26-year-old demolished his opponent, Kale Dixon, from NXT. He wasn’t done just yet and then caused mayhem backstage after spearing Ricochet out of nowhere. The latter was standing beside Ilja Dragunov, who has now issued a warning to Bron.

In a post-show interview on Raw Talk, Dragunov admitted that he’s now on a roster where there are men who could oust him physically. But that doesn’t take away the fact that he’s not a tyro in combating the odds, added the recently drafted Raw Superstar. The former NXT Champion then resorted to Bron Breakker and said that he’s the golden child, gifted at everything.

The Mad Dragon affirmed that what Breakker displayed in his tyrannical outing on Raw was not something one could call intensity. Instead, per Ilja Dragunov, it’s developing skills and endurance when no one thinks that one’s going to make it. For the Russian, intensity means suffering. And he’s going to make Bron suffer, vowed Ilja. That does seem like an outright challenge to the Steiner descendant.

Bron, you're the golden child. Gifted at all sports. And you think that is intensity. No. (Intensity) is not having all of that. It is developing skills and endurance when no-one thinks you are gonna make it. Intensity means suffering. And the Mad Dragon is gonna make you suffer.

Breakker was even chastised by Raw general manager Adam Pearce after his actions called for a medical emergency. However, unfazed by the authority figure, the former Wolf Dogs member said that Pearce doesn’t control him. Ever since getting promoted to the main roster, Bron has yet to be fed with anyone who could lace his boots. And he’s closing in on getting one, it seems.

Who’s going to be the first major threat for Bron Breakker on Raw?

A few weeks ago, multi-time World Champion Sheamus confronted Bron Breakker while he was being interviewed backstage. The Celtic Warrior told the upstart that he sees glimpses of himself in The Bada*s of WWE.

And after what transpired on this week’s Raw, the 230-pounder is bound to have problems. One obvious choice for Breakker’s first major foe on Raw would be Ricochet. The high-flyer was cut in half by Bron’s spear. Who knows if they end up in the ring next week?

However, it would likely be another smooth sailing for the Georgia native. The only man who could derail the latter’s momentum right now is none other than Ilja Dragunov. The Moscow-born wrestler has his sights set on the former NXT Tag Team Champion.
