Triple H and the creative team booked a classic main event match between CM Punk and Bron Breakker for the World Heavyweight Championship on the first episode of WWE RAW in 2026. The contest ended with The Best in the World retaining his gold.
Despite the loss, Bron Breakker earned praise from the internet, and many fans called him the future of WWE. In this article, we will look at three reasons why the Chief Content Officer didn’t put the World Heavyweight Title on The Dog of WWE.
Thanks for the submission!
#3. Breakker is not ready for a world title reign yet
Bron Breakker has established himself as a solid main event star on Monday Night RAW, but it feels like he is currently not ready for a world title reign. The former NXT Champion has already won the Intercontinental Title as part of the red brand. He impressed many with his performances during the championship reign.
The Game seemingly wants to craft Breakker into a legitimate threat before giving him a world title reign. This could be a major reason behind his loss on the Netflix show.
#2. Too soon for CM Punk to suffer a title loss
In November 2025, CM Punk won the World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Jey Uso at Saturday Night’s Main Event in a singles match for the vacant title. Since then, The Best in the World has been engaged in a feud with The Vision, and his program with Breakker marked his first real feud as champion.
If The Voice of the Voiceless suffered a championship loss on WWE RAW, it would have hurt his status as the top babyface of RAW. Given that Punk’s title reign began only a couple of months ago, the WWE CCO might have decided not to book a title change on RAW, leading to Breakker’s loss.
#1. WWE could be planning to give Bron Breakker a world title victory on a bigger stage
Bron Breakker is a promising young talent, and he will indeed main event WrestleMania in the future. There is a chance that the Chief Content Officer might have decided not to put the world title on Breakker on RAW, as he wants to give him a massive crowning moment on a bigger stage.
If The Vision member participates in a world title match at WrestleMania 42, there is a high chance that he might dethrone the champion and become the new titleholder at The Showcase of the Immortals.
