WWE has yet to finalize WrestleMania 41 plans for Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, though recent developments suggest a direction is taking shape. Over the past several weeks, Breakker has engaged in confrontations with multiple Raw superstars, indicating potential championship challengers.
The champion has teased matches with Penta, AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and recently returned Sheamus, building multiple potential rivalries simultaneously. This pattern of interactions has sparked speculation about WWE’s creative direction for the title at WrestleMania.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE creative has discussed having Breakker defend his championship in a multi-competitor match at the premium live event rather than a singles contest.
They’re tossing around a multi-man, as has become tradition at WrestleMania, whether it be the Intercontinental Title or Tag Team Titles last year. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a multi-man type of match. Not saying there’s going to be a ladder involved, don’t know if that’s the direction they’re going, but I doubt it’s Bron Breakker vs. ‘X’ in a one-on-one match.
The report doesn’t confirm whether the match would include a ladder stipulation, which has been featured in several WrestleMania multi-man Intercontinental Championship contests in previous years.
Breakker’s most recent title defense occurred this past Monday on Raw, where he defeated Dominik Mysterio. Following the match, Balor confronted the champion in a tense face-off, potentially adding another name to the list of challengers heading into WrestleMania season.
