Report: WWE optimistic about Bron Breakker return before WrestleMania 42
WWE has reportedly begun planning Bron Breakker’s return ahead of WrestleMania 42.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, there is a lot of optimism within WWE on Breakker being medically cleared and ready for a return before WrestleMania 42. On the chance that he is not cleared on time, WWE has a backup plan in place for Breakker, the details of which are not yet available.
Breakker last competed at the Royal Rumble. He was the second entrant in the men’s Rumble but was taken out by a masked attacker. This contributed to his elimination by Oba Femi within seconds of entering the match. Breakker kicked off the February 2 edition of Raw upset about his spot being taken away from him at the Royal Rumble and demanded answers from Adam Pearce. Breakker flipped over the commentary table before The Vision tried to calm him down.
On the February 10 edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Breakker needed emergency surgery for the hernia.
“That had nothing to do with the Royal Rumble,” Meltzer said. “People are going like, ‘Oh, that’s why they did the thing at the Rumble.’ It’s like, it had nothing to do with the Rumble, even though, yeah, he probably had it long before that. It had nothing to do with any bookings, anything that they were doing. And then it was just like he got checked out and had to have emergency surgery. That’s the basic story on that.”
