Breakker demonstrated his strength early, hitting a Gorilla Press Slam. Sami avoided danger early, however, sending Bron into the ring post.

Zayn went for a Helluva Kick, but Breakker connected with the Spear. Breakker ran the ropes at a quick pace for another Spear.

Sami Zayn was defeated. and we have a new Intercontinental Champion.

The future for Breakker looks bright, and many fans believe he will win multiple world titles before his in-ring career is over.

This is the first major singles title for Breakker on the main roster. While Breakker did become NXT Champion, this is now the big time for the son of the legendary Rick Steiner.

Breakker's win may not come as a surprise to fans. He lost an IC title match to Zayn at the Money in the Bank PLE.

WWE recently hinted at Sami Zayn being involved in The Bloodline storyline by having him reunite with Jey Uso.

It'll be interesting to see if Zayn does indeed link up with Roman Reigns and The Usos to take on Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.
