Tony Schiavone Was Excited To See Bron Breakker Win WWE Intercontinental Title

Tony Schiavone was happy to see Bron Breakker win the WWE Intercontinental Championship and recently recalled meeting him. Breakker won the title from Sami Zayn at WWE SummerSlam, and Schiavone weighed in on the title change on his What Happened When? podcast.

“I’m really excited for him,” Schiavone said (h/t to Wrestling Inc). “I met him when we worked State Farm Arena, or back at that time I think it was Philips Arena, in Atlanta … Rick’s son was backstage and we talked to him, and I got to know him back then.”

He continued, “Rick and Scott are two of my favorite people of all time, probably because they have so many — we have so many great stories of them pulling pranks on people. I’m excited for the family, I’m excited for the kid. I’ve never seen him wrestle, but I’m sure that being … putting the IC strap on him means they have a lot of confidence in him as far as his character, and his work are concerned.”

Breakker successfully defended the title against Zayn in a Two of Three Falls match on Raw.
