Two IC title contender’s tournament matches set for WWE Raw
On WWE Raw tonight, a tournament will begin to decide the next challenger for Bron Breakker’s Intercontinental title.
WWE has announced that the number one contender’s tournament will kick off with a pair of triple threat matches taking place on tonight’s episode. They are: Jey Uso vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Karrion Kross and The Miz vs. Xavier Woods vs. Pete Dunne.
Breakker won the Intercontinental title from Sami Zayn at SummerSlam. His first title defense was a two-out-of-three falls rematch against Zayn on Raw two weeks ago where Breakker won two falls to one.
Zayn received stem cell therapy in Mexico recently to help deal with some nagging injuries. On Raw, he and Uso are back aligned after previously being in The Bloodline together. Uso is still looking to win the first singles championship of his career.
WWE hasn’t announced when the tournament winner will be getting their title shot.
Raw takes place from Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island tonight. It’s the last episode of the show before Saturday’s Bash in Berlin PLE.
