Update on Bron Breakker following WWE injury
Bron Breakker is sidelined with an injury right now, but it sounds like he could be back in time for WrestleMania 42.
Our Dave Meltzer reported yesterday that Breakker has undergone hernia surgery. Though WrestleMania is only a couple of months away, Fightful reports that sources within WWE are optimistic that Breakker will be able to make it back in time. His plans for the event have not been announced yet.
PWInsider adds that the word going around is that Breakker’s hernia was an ongoing issue, but it was only determined that he would need surgery following his appearance on WWE Raw last week. On that episode, Breakker took part in an angle where he tore apart the announce table due to frustration over how he was eliminated at the Royal Rumble.
Breakker entered the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match at number two but was quickly taken out in an angle where he was attacked by a mysterious figure. The unidentified hooded person laid out Breakker with a stomp, with WWE teasing that it could be Seth Rollins. Rollins is currently out of action with his own injury but is also hoping to be back in time for Mania.
When Rollins suffered his shoulder injury in October 2025, WWE wrote him off television in a storyline where Breakker betrayed Rollins and kicked him out of The Vision.
WrestleMania 42 is set to be held in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19. So far, only CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship has been officially confirmed.
