First WWE Title Tournament Finalists Confirmed

The newest tournament in WWE kicked off on Monday Night Raw as the red brand’s stars got a chance to compete for the Intercontinental Title.

Bron Breakker has proved to be hugely impressive since joining the WWE main roster. Breakker claimed the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam with a massive win over Sami Zayn indicating that Breakker is set to become one of Raw’s top stars in short order.

On Raw in Fort Lauderdale, Bron Breakker appeared in a backstage segment where he broke the news that the red brand’s General Manager Adam Pearce had created a tournament to find the next number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship.

That tournament kicked off on the 26th of August edition of Raw with two triple threat matches taking place. The two winners of those matches will meet the winners of two more three-way bouts to come in a fatal four-way match with the winner of that going on to challenge Bron Breakker for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.

The first triple threat match on Raw featured Karrion Kross, Kofi Kingston, and Jey Uso with Uso picking up the victory by pinning Kross.

The second match pitted Xavier Woods, The Miz, and Pete Dunne against each other with Dunne picking up the win in that contest.

Two more triple threat matches will take place on the 2nd of September edition of Raw but no full line-ups have been confirmed for those bouts. Dominik Mysterio did make clear, however, that he would be part of one of them.
