Bron Breakker and 3 other WWE stars who deserve a World Title shot before WrestleMania 42

Bron Breakker managed to pin CM Punk in the Men's WarGames Match at this year's WWE Survivor Series to secure the victory for his team, thanks to a mystery attacker who used Seth Rollins' finisher on Punk. That said, Breakker will look to go one-on-one against The Second City Saint on January 5, 2026, for the World Heavyweight Championship.

However, many believe there are still other superstars who deserve a World Title shot before WrestleMania 42, aside from Bron Breakker, and suggest that the Stamford-based promotion should consider developing a storyline around this before The Show of Shows.

Now, let's take a look at Bron Breakker and three other WWE stars who deserve a World Title shot before WrestleMania 42.

#4. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker has been showcased as The Vision's new leader since initiating Seth Rollins' betrayal on WWE RAW after Crown Jewel: Perth. Despite taking Rollins out of the scene, he was not even granted the opportunity to face CM Punk for the title at Saturday Night's Main Event XLI. Instead, the company chose Jey Uso.

However, the 28-year-old star didn't back down and finally earned himself a shot at Punk's World Heavyweight Championship on the first anniversary of Monday Night RAW moving to Netflix. While fans eagerly anticipate this match, it will be interesting to see how the storyline unfolds.

#3. Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed has gained significant momentum since joining The Vision earlier this year. This momentum reached its peak during his feud with Roman Reigns. Reed even secured a victory over the OTC at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth, and many believe he has all it takes to be in the world title picture.

To continue his hot streak, the creative team should consider having The Aus-zilla in the World Heavyweight Championship contention before WrestleMania 42. He could prove a formidable opponent for CM Punk and help him establish his reign before The Show of Shows.

#2. Gunther

Gunther appears to be another WWE Superstar who deserves a world title shot before WrestleMania 42. He dropped the World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk at this year's SummerSlam before Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to pick up a stellar victory over Punk.

After returning to compete in John Cena's Last Time is Now Tournament, it makes sense for the creative team to consider giving him a world title rematch against The Second City Saint. Since The Ring General will likely be Cena's final opponent as an active wrestler, the authorities should consider developing a storyline for him after the bout.

#1. Former WWE United States Champion LA Knight

LA Knight has unfinished business with CM Punk. The duo was at loggerheads before Punk secured his shot for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night's Main Event XLI, where he eventually pinned Jey Uso to win the title.

The wrestling community seems disappointed with how Knight was silently removed from the world title scene, and many believe that he deserves his one-on-one match against The Second City Saint before WrestleMania 42 to conclude their rivalry.
