In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed were intentionally excluded from the Battle Royal on WWE RAW this past Monday night. This decision was made because WWE has significant plans for both wrestlers. Meltzer noted that the company wants to maintain their momentum and protect their individual star power by keeping them out of multi-man matches that could dilute their impact.

Meltzer further explained that WWE intends to emphasize the dominance of both Breakker and Reed through focused storytelling, with the goal of building them into future main event attractions. Initially, there was a plan for Breakker and Reed to win the Tag Team Titles and elevate those championships by competing against some of the company’s top faces in tag team matches.

While it remains uncertain if WWE will still follow through with this plan, Meltzer mentioned that Breakker is expected to eventually become the World Heavyweight Champion. However, since the championship match will take place at Saturday Night’s Main Event—a Peacock exclusive that is unlikely to attract significant viewership—WWE determined that it was not the right time or setting for Breakker to win the title. With that in mind, they decided to keep him out of the Battle Royal to avoid unnecessary elimination.
