Bron Breakker made his intentions clear by turning on Seth Rollins on tonight’s episode of WWE RAW.
However, there seems to be confusion about who will get a crack at the World Heavyweight Title, as moments before the attack, CM Punk won a number one contender match.
In this article, we look at decoding the same.

CM Punk Or Bron Breakker, Who Is The True #1 Contender For The WWE World Heavyweight Championship
As it stands, the true #1 contender for the title is CM Punk, irrespective of Breakker’s actions.
While the Unpredictable Bada** made his motives clear, Punk deserves it considering his longstanding rivalry with The Visionary. While the storyline does get interesting with the involvement of Breakker, who till now was just Rollins’ lackey, WWE must be planning a parallel storyline to make the 27-year-old the true breakout star from the faction.
While many fans have complained that the faction broke up too early, it seems that WWE has just planted the seed for the former Intercontinental Champion’s rise, as immediately giving him a World Title shot and victory gives fans very little payoff, and makes the whole angle seem forced than organically playing out.
The possible way this story could play out is that Rollins and Punk have their title match at Survivor Series: War Games, where Breakker costs The Visionary the title and starts a singles feud with him. Also, it makes sense for him to take out Rollins, who is arguably the more formidable opponent, rather than an aging CM Punk.
Also, a singles feud will help establish Breakker as a main-eventer when he will eventually take on The Second City Saint on the Grandest Stage of Them All. WrestleMania 42, where he could have his crowning moment and truly be cemented as the future of the company.
