As reported earlier, the rematch for the Intercontinental Championship will headline a weekly episode of WWE Raw rather than being inserted into the match card of Crown Jewel scheduled within a few weeks. As a result, the current champion and his rival will collide in a rematch in the ring, next week in what should turn out to be a slobberknocker of a contest.

During the latest bygone episode of WWE Raw aired in a pre-taped format from St. Louis, Missouri, it was announced that Jey Uso will defend the Intercontinental Championship in next week’s episode against Bron Breakker in a rematch between the two.

Previously, Uso defeated Breakker in the main event of the September 23 episode of WWE Raw to capture the IC title which also marked the first time that he captured a singles championship in his entire WWE career. While he’s focused on extending the title run, Jimmy Uso is back on the scene with the pledge of re-joining the Bloodline in which Jey is not interested.

Throughout last night’s episode of WWE Raw, Jimmy pursued Jey with the same request only to hear negative responses from his brother. On the flip side, Bron Breakker defeated former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston in a singles battle. After the match, Jey appeared in the ring and planted Breakker with a spear to seek retribution from last week.
