00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is scheduled for one fall only.
00:27The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship!
00:36Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing in at 250 pounds, Brawn Breaker!
00:47He is the unpredictable, badass, Brawn Breaker, looking to win the Intercontinental Championship here tonight in Toronto.
00:58Corey, 6 foot, 250, flat out, power, speed. If it was baseball, he's your 5-tool player.
01:08No doubt, I truly believe that if AI could create a superstar, it would look like Brawn Breaker.
01:14This dude is a mutant, and he may be the next Intercontinental Champion.

01:36Drink Prime!
01:38And his opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 212 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion,
02:07Sami Zayn!
02:10Sami Zayn is known as the underdog from the underground. Many people believe, Corey, that Sami Zayn is indeed the underdog here tonight.
02:39Sami Zayn would not have it any other way, Michael Colby, because you can hear there are about 19,000 plus maniacs cheering on Sami Zayn.
02:48And there is not a superstar on the roster who feeds off of a live audience quite like Sami Zayn. It's almost supernatural.
02:57Corey, tonight's Over the Ring Cam is brought to you by Homelander. See him in the all-new season of the boys, available now on Prime Video.
03:09We had the same conversations leading up to WrestleMania, where Sami Zayn was the one, the one man who managed to dethrone Gunther, the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time.
03:23I don't like Sami's odds tonight, but I will never bet against you.
03:26Yeah, Gunther was champion for 666 days before he was beaten by Sami Zayn. Now here's an interesting statistic, Corey.
03:33Since Gunther arrived on the scene at WWE a number of years ago, only three men have beaten him.
03:41Iliya Dragunov is one of those. The two men in the ring right now, Sami Zayn, Braun Breaker, the other two.
03:48And as we've learned, that is an accolade in and of itself. An accomplishment that belongs to only three men in WWE, two of which about to throw down for the IC title.
03:59Braun Breaker, two-time NXT Champion. In his second reign, he defended the NXT title 13 different times.
04:12A one-time tag team champion. He's intense, he's powerful, but he's in there with a man who's a four-time Intercontinental Champion, and one of the most widely veterans that you'll ever meet is Sami Zayn.
04:27Sami Zayn knows how to survive, and above all, Sami Zayn knows how to win. I look to see Sami try to get in the head or under the skin of Braun Breaker, because physically speaking, Zayn is absolutely no match.
04:40I mean, it's almost unfair, the genetics that compose Braun Breaker.
04:47Braun Breaker said in an interview this week that this isn't like any other veteran versus rookie match.
04:54I'm walking into the ring tonight, and I am going to physically destroy Sami Zayn. Those are the words of Braun Breaker.
05:02One of the most confident young men you'll ever meet. Breaker so fast, and the quickness there you see.
05:09Breaker lightning fast and incredibly strong, able to impose his will on opponents. It's Braun's smash-mouth style that's so brutal and so dangerous.
05:19He only knows one speed. It's full. And if Braun hits you, it could be over.
05:25I think about Sami Zayn. If Braun makes one mistake, Sami will capitalize. That's all it takes. To your point, Sami Zayn is a world-traveled veteran.
05:36And look at this. Braun Breaker is daring Zayn.
05:40Well, Sami's not going to step back from that, I'll tell you. He's going to bring the fight to you.
05:44Sami Zayn, a guy who went through the wars with the Bloodline, knows all about this.
05:48And now, driven into the corner by Breaker and Braun Breaker, burying his shoulders into the gut of Sami Zayn.
05:53And this is what Sami has to avoid throughout the duration of this matchup, getting caught in close quarters with Braun Breaker.
05:59Because Braun will break Zayn in half.
06:02Braun Breaker's been on a different level. He's just been an angry man since Raw General Manager Adam Pearce decided not to put him in the King of the Ring tournament
06:11when he came to Monday Night Raw with the sixth overall pick of the draft back in April.
06:15And ever since then, Breaker has been mad, and he's been angry, and he's been taking it out on everybody who stands in his way.
06:22Sami whipped across the ring, hanging on now, and Breaker sent over the top rope to the floor.
06:27Braun got a little overzealous. That could backfire badly.
06:30Yeah, again, the experience of Sami Zayn, trying to feed off the near 20,000 in Toronto tonight.
06:37Sami, up over the top rope, moonsault. Oh, and he just caught Breaker in the shoulder.
06:42An Arabian press with high risk. It was not pretty, but the contact was sufficient.
06:48The contact was sufficient.
06:50Looked like Sami... Let's take another look at this.
06:53Sami's knee or shin came down across the shoulder and neck area of Braun Breaker.
06:59Yeah, Sami's left knee. That's gonna hurt.
07:01And Zayn now gets the challenger back into the ring, and Sami Zayn suddenly takes control of the matchup.
07:06That's just what a proud competitor Sami Zayn is. Of course, champion's advantage applies.
07:10Sami has to be pinned or submit to lose his title, but Sami likes to make a statement in victory.
07:16Sami would love to leave money in the bank in his home nation of Canada
07:19with a victory over someone as dominant and dangerous as Braun Breaker.
07:23But look at this, Cole. Uh-oh, and Breaker with a clothesline.
07:26Now, I hit this stat every week, but I'm sorry it's so impressive.
07:2923 miles per hour, the speed at which Braun Breaker hits the ropes.
07:34That wasn't a clothesline, Michael Cole. That was a Steiner line.
07:39We've seen in the past number of months what he's pulled out of his dad's repertoire.
07:44Very effective as well.
07:47Look at this, ruthless as well.
07:49Sami barely protected himself.
07:51I think Eddie Urengo might want to get in there and check on the champion.
07:53Yeah, Breaker.
07:54Sami was barely able to get his hands up.
07:56Bringing Sami's belt.
07:59And the champion now in trouble.
08:01This does not bode well for Sami Zayn because this is...
08:04Oh, what a belly to belly.
08:07They say that he's got that dog in him.
08:10And indeed, he does.
08:12Right now, Sami Zayn is locked in a cage with that dog.
08:16And it does not look good for the underdog from the underground.
08:26And now, Breaker bouncing Sami face first off the turnbuckle.
08:30You mentioned Braun Breaker's father, Cole.
08:33You mentioned Braun Breaker's father, Cole.
08:35But it's been extremely impressive how quickly Braun's been able to step out of the shadow...
08:39Oh, the running knee.
08:41...of his Hall of Fame family.
08:45Braun Breaker carving his own path.
08:47He has been the axe that clears the forest recently.
08:50He's here mocking the WWE fans here in Sami's homeland of Canada.
08:57Sami with a chuck look and a fight back.
09:02And again, Sami Zayn, we've talked so much in his career about his heart, his guts, his never-say-die attitude.
09:08Gonna need all that tonight.
09:11And what we just saw for a half a moment was Braun Breaker...
09:14Oh, my goodness, again. What a throw.
09:16...getting a little too confident as Breaker sliding...
09:19Cover!
09:20...for the championship.
09:21Sami kicks out.
09:22Now, he...
09:23Sami kicks out, Breaker goes into a push-up.
09:25Never a bad time for calisthenics, Cole.
09:27You gotta stay in tip-top shape if you wanna be Intercontinental Champion.
09:30But if you're Sami Zayn, how heartbreaking is that?
09:34How soul-crushing is that to watch your opponent in the middle of a match
09:38mock you in a physical manner like doing push-ups over your fallen body?
09:42And now Sami Zayn, second rope.
09:44Oh, it just got caught by Breaker again.
09:46Oh, no, maybe Sami trying to fight out of this.
09:48Yeah, Braun can't go to the same well too many times.
09:50You can't get away with the same offense against Sami, because Sami learns in the middle of a fight.
09:55And Sami now delivering the elbows to the back of the neck, driving Breaker down to a knee.
10:00Now Sami Zayn.
10:01There's the chop, and here comes some vintage Zayn.
10:04Top rope for Sami.
10:05DDT!
10:08And Sami now!
10:09Cover to retain!
10:11Dragon Breaker tore the middle of the ring, hooks the leg, forces Breaker to kick out.
10:15Again, a better move by Sami there.
10:17Sami realized that he was a little close to the ropes as we look again at the beautiful
10:21rope walk tornado DDT executed by Sami Zayn.
10:25Took down Braun, but couldn't take out Braun just yet.
10:28It's an incredible atmosphere on this Saturday night in Toronto.
10:32Scotiabank Arena, 19,858.
10:37We are sold out for Money in the Bank.
10:39And homeland favorite Sami Zayn defending the Intercontinental Championship
10:43against the up-and-coming Braun Breaker.
10:45I can't stress this enough, and I'm only speaking from experience.
10:48Back in our days in NXT, Michael Cole, when you were fighting Sami Zayn,
10:52there is something that the crowd does to him.
10:54It wakes him up, it fuels him, it keeps him going.
10:57Unlike anybody I've ever known in this game.
11:00And I bet you Braun Breaker will agree with me right now.
11:02Yeah, leapfrog, and then the clothesline over the top rope,
11:05and it allows Sami Zayn to buy himself a little bit of time.
11:08Sami gonna go back out on the attack.
11:10It's frustrating, it's disheartening.
11:12And a relative newcomer like Braun Breaker, for all of his success,
11:15could be thrown off his game plan.
11:17Realizing that Sami just keeps coming forward, he's like a zombie.
11:22Reversal, Sami, set the barricade, up off the top of the barricade,
11:26moves off, caught by Breaker!
11:28Breaker picked Sami out of midair, but driven into the post!
11:34Breaker dropping to his knees, the challenger starting to fade,
11:37but does Sami have enough left in the tank?
11:41Remember, champion's advantage.
11:43Breaker has to pin or submit Sami Zayn to win the championship tonight.
11:52Wonder what's going through the mind of the cerebral Zayn.
11:58Sami's proud of the fact he considers himself a master strategist.
12:01It's led Sami to great success here in WWE and around the entire globe.
12:06Yeah, driven out of the ring now.
12:11Sami Zayn, we've seen him do this many times over the years,
12:15and Breaker about decapitated Sami!
12:22That next-level explosivity of Braun Breaker could make all the difference.
12:28Let's take another look. Sami, one step behind, and Breaker made him pay.
12:35Breaker, great instinct, realizing he's got to pin the champ,
12:38sends him back into the ring.
12:41And Breaker says that is it.
12:44It's time to put Zayn away and win the Intercontinental Championship.
12:48Sami struggling back to his feet.
12:50Braun Breaker, poised and ready, went for a spear.
12:52Sami Zayn caught him, and now Sami Zayn into a Blue Thunder Bomb!
12:56For the win! Cover! Hook of the leg! Kickout by Breaker!
13:04That could be disheartening for the champion Sami Zayn,
13:07realizing he's only had limited opportunities.
13:09He just nailed the Blue Thunder Bomb,
13:11a maneuver that's brought a lot of success Zayn's way,
13:14but it still wasn't enough.
13:16A kickout with purpose from the challenger, Braun Breaker.
13:19It's all the prestigious Intercontinental Championship.
13:22Dozens of WWE Hall of Famers have held that title.
13:26For many, it has been the last stop on the road to the World Championship.
13:30Sami Zayn, a proud four-time Intercontinental Champion.
13:40Braun now positioning Sami on the top turnbuckle.
13:43Sami again, could be thinking about another Tornado DDT,
13:46but Breaker puts on the brakes.
13:51Oh, look out, Cole!
13:53He walks up the ropes like a step, Frankensteiner!
13:55That is unbelievable!
13:57Cover for the championship!
13:59Sami somehow stays in it!
14:05Talk about disheartening.
14:08A Frankensteiner.
14:10Braun Breaker makes it look easy.
14:15He walks up the ropes like he's walking up stairs.
14:18It's freakish.
14:19I've said it before, I'll say it again,
14:21with all due respect, Braun Breaker is a damn mutant.
14:25Now he's just trash-talking, bad-mouthing,
14:28and punching Sami Zayn right in the face.
14:32Sami wisely rolling under the bottom rope,
14:35realizing this could be a matter of preservation,
14:38self-championship or otherwise.
14:42But a great decision by the underdog champion.
14:45Wait, oh no.
14:46Braun Breaker sneaking out the backside of the ring.
14:48Oh, we saw this Monday night!
14:50Braun Breaker now, full head of speed.
14:52Sami Zayn leapfrogging.
14:54Oh, whoa!
14:55Oh, whoa!
14:56Oh, whoa!
14:57Oh, whoa!
14:58Oh, whoa!
15:00Oh, whoa!
15:09Look at the athleticism of Breaker.
15:12Good god!
15:25Oh!
15:29I can't hear, I can't see, our monitors are out, I'm hearing some madness in my headset,
15:35Cole.
15:36Braun Breaker just took out our entire technical setup, and he got right back up, but Breaker
15:44may have tweaked the knee, Cole.
15:45I can't hear you either, we're going to get this fixed.
15:51Braun Breaker now rolling Sami Zayn back in the ring, but Braun may have tweaked his knee,
15:57he may have caught his knee on the edge of the table.
15:59Do you hear me now?
16:00I can hear you now.
16:01Okay, Braun Breaker back in the ring, and he may be hurt as well, Corey, as you mentioned.
16:04It's a good thing you're back, because I think we're about to crown a new Intercontinental
16:08Champion, Cole.
16:09Oh, look at this!
16:10The gorilla press, Sami Zayn, though, slides underneath from behind, exploder into the corner!
16:21I don't know how Sami does it, but he's doing it again!
16:26Sami Zayn, with all of Canada behind him!
16:29Oh, and Breaker!
16:31My God, what impact!
16:35Braun just propelled his body in Sami's direction.
16:39And now another gorilla press slam!
16:42For Breaker!
16:45Braun Breaker could be closing in on the Intercontinental Championship!
16:51Welcome to the beginning of the end!
16:54Oh, and Sami caught him with a kick!
16:56Sami's got a chance! Sami's got a chance!
16:59Braun Breaker's stunned! Breaker's been startled by Sami Zayn!
17:03Can Sami Zayn come out and do it again?
17:05Oh, with a kick!
17:07Breaker's down!
17:09Cover by Zayn!
17:11Got it!
17:12Sami!
17:13Sami Zayn!
17:15Here is your winner, and still the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn!
17:29Corey, how the hell does Sami Zayn continue to survive?
17:35Magic, divine intervention, I have no earthly idea, Michael Cole,
17:41but somehow, someway, Sami keeps doing it.
17:45My Apple Watch is going insane because of how loud it is in this place right now
17:49as Canada celebrates the victory for the Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn.
17:58What a battle. A testament to the iron will of Sami Zayn.
18:04He had one opportunity and seized it.
18:07But Breaker caught Sami, and just when it seemed as though
18:11it was time to call Braun Champion,
18:14look at this power from the challenger driving Sami through the mat.
18:19Breaker was lining up the spear,
18:22but you can never, ever, under any circumstance,
18:27bet against Sami Zayn.
18:30You know, I go into all these matches, Corey, and I say to myself,
18:35Sami's the underdog.
18:36There's no way Sami Zayn's going to retain the championship.
18:39There's no way he can beat Gunther.
18:41There's no way he's going to be able to knock off the Bronson Reed to the world.
18:44There's no way he's going to knock off Braun Breaker.
18:46And he does it time and time again!
18:50My word of the night, Cole, my phrase of the night,
18:53never say never.
18:58Breaker was impressive,
19:01but Sami Zayn's the champion.
