Does nobody understand context?? Sami fluked the win, he was getting his ass handed to him, but he managed to take the small opportunity that came his way. Then after, Bron’s reaction was of frustration and he didn’t want to accept the result. He was given time to show this and he didn’t leave the ring immediately for the audience to focus on the winner like what usually happens. That’s a great way to protect someone in the middle of a push who is wrestling for a title that the bookers don’t want them to win, while keeping their aura and not going down the played out and obvious cliche of a dq finish. But it seems it was too subtle for some people. Do the commentators have to spell out exactly how you’re supposed to feel whilst using insider terms? “Oh my! Bron Breakker just did the job to the plucky babyface Sami Zayn in a huge swerve finish, but don’t worry folks, it’s not a burial as we’re giving him the big push, so we still want him over with all you marks out there!”
He lost, but his opponent is also in the midst of a push too. They had to keep them BOTH looking strong. How novel - getting the loser over at the same time as the winner. It just seems like having to focus on two story arcs in one match (a hot headed beast of an athlete AND an up against the odds everyman) is too much for some people.

When started watching wrestling only a Hulk Hogan would be beating a Bron Breakker. A DQ or (gasp) rollup while incredibly cliched at this point, would have been preferable in comparison. This era where the most average looking of wrestlers can knock off a muscled up badass is awful.

I love Bron Breakker.
Hopefully he’s the new IC champ after SummerSlam.

Still early days. I think the actual gimmick might need some revising. Maybe he joins faction like Judgement Day while he is still green then win money in the bank and cash in. Moving forward he would definitely benefit to be in faction with someone who can talk and someone more entertaining.

Hopefully he wins at SummerSlam. This Sami IC reign has been horrible.

Going forward he'll probably rarely lose. The loss won't matter since Sami is very credible.
