The paths of WWE Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker, Penta, Dirty Dom Mysterio, and Finn B\u00e1lor continue to converge with a tag team match on the March 31 episode of Raw.<\/a>\u00a0The mid-card has presented plenty of options for title defenses in recent months, with Breakker recently defending against Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser, as well as B\u00e1lor earlier this month. Promos with the aforementioned Penta and AJ Styles have also hinted at future matches and feuds as WrestleMania 41 approaches.<\/p>\n

Penta’s stock continues to grow, as he remained unpinned since making his debut in January (until March 31). Conversely, The Judgment Day’s male members struggle for relevance as they continue to be outshone by the successes of Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez – the only titleholders in their stable.<\/p>\n

A tag team match against the reigning champion Breakker and his strongest rival Penta presents an opportunity for B\u00e1lor and Dirty Dom to stake their claim with an Intercontinental title match yet to be set in stone. Should they emerge victorious, B\u00e1lor and or Dom will have a pretty strong case for challenging Breakker at WrestleMania 41.<\/p>\n

However, a fatal 4-way presents a litany of storyline threads for WWE Creative. As well as being an exciting prospect, the future narrative options stemming from the match could be very rewarding.<\/p>\n
