On the other side of the argument, Dyers sees major benefits to Punk retaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on “Raw,” one of which involves “The Ring General” GUNTHER.
“I say no because where does it put GUNTHER?” Dyer asked. “You just had GUNTHER win this monster match and make [John] Cena tap out. Mr. Never Give Up tapped out. You can’t have him just going against R-Truth every week. I love R-Truth to death, but that doesn’t do anything for GUNTHER. It creates sympathy for R-Truth. You need to have GUNTHER somewhere soon that matters, to make him tapping out John Cena matter, so does GUNTHER go to Punk next after Bron on Raw?”
Should Breakker defeat Punk on his first try, Dyer also worries that the WWE Universe may seriously be turned off by it, resulting in forced heat against the second-generation wrestler. As such, Dyer suggests that a longer chase for the world title may better serve Breakker.
“Is it better for Bron to chase it for a little while and give him a bigger moment? I’m not saying Raw is not a bigger moment, because I would have taken the world title on a live event, if we’re being honest,” Dyer said. “Does it hurt him to win it on Raw, even though it’s the year celebration of Netflix? Do you want to see him win it at WrestleMania? Does it mean more?”
On a personal level, Dyer noted that he is a strong advocate for Breakker unseating Punk on “Raw” due to their previous alliance as The Wolf Dogs in “WWE NXT.” He is also familiar with the passion that Breakker has for the wrestling business. From a logic standpoint, Dyer isn’t totally convinced that it makes the most sense.
Interestingly, recent reports indicate that Breakker is the internal favorite to win the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, which suggests that he will not defeat Punk on “Raw” beforehand. As always, though, plans are subject to change.
