Bron Breakker, who pinned CM Punk at WWE Survivor Series: War Games, is scheduled to challenge Punk for the title on the January 5th 2026 edition of RAW. During an episode of WrestleVotes Radio, the following was said in regards to future plans for Breakker…

“Bron Breakker is your current… whiteboard favorite, as so bluntly described to us to win the Royal Rumble. An idea has been strongly considered within creative circles that would see Breakker win the Royal Rumble on January 31 from Saudi Arabia.”

“Regardless of the announced match for the January 5, Monday Night Raw for the world title in Brooklyn versus CM Punk… we can report that the current favorite, or the odds on favorite, as creative stands right now, is for Bron Breakker to win the men’s Royal Rumble.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)

It was previously reported that Breakker vs. Punk is expected to be one of the WrestleMania 42 main events.
