According to a new report from Fightful Select, Breakker was seen being helped to the back following the match at SummerSlam. A source informed the publication that the former NXT Champion was about an hour late for a photo-op with the fans.

Vince Russo claims WWE missed an opportunity with Bron Breakker

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, Russo wondered why Breakker was in the Gauntlet match to determine Gunther's opponent at SummerSlam, but Reed was not. He stated that the company could have done a whole storyline about that, but it was never addressed.

"Explain this to me, Chris. Why is Bron Breakker in the Gauntlet and not Bronson Reed? That could have been a whole story. Guys, if this is the Attitude Era, Bron Breaker and Bronson Reed are having a match to determine who gets that spot in the Gauntlet, okay? Why is Bronson Reed not in that match? This is what I'm talking about, bro, and here's what everything comes down to. There's no planning because there's no time to plan. It is content, content, churn it out, content, content, get the shows on content, content, content. There is no time to think the simplest of things through." [From 13:53 onwards]
