You could make the argument the two young superstars are clashing too early and that having one go over at this point creates a premature established tier. But no one asked me and I'm still hyped for this match which is set to determine who the "future of WWE" will be. Let's talk WWE.
On Monday Night Raw in Buffalo, Breakker called Oba Femi out. Paul Heyman emerged and confirmed he'd already set the match up for Sunday Night's Main Event in Atlanta on Sept. 6. The event now has two huge matches on the card. Cody Rhodes will take on Randy Orton there as well. We can also expect to see Trick Williams on the card considering he's on the event's poster with his superstar sideman Lil Yachty.
Sunday Night's Main Event is the same franchise WWE has run on Saturdays, moved to Sunday of Labor Day weekend for the first time. It streams on Peacock in the United States and on WWE's YouTube channel internationally.
Both announced matches carry an Atlanta tie. WWE.com lists Bron Breakker’s hometown as Atlanta and Cody Rhodes' hometown as Atlanta, putting two of the four booked names in their listed home market.
The two men first came face to face on Raw after SummerSlam, and Femi has been building toward a moment like this since his run started producing real main-event heat in the spring.
