WWE confirms Bron Breakker injury
WWE has confirmed Bron Breakker’s injury.
At the opening of Monday’s Raw, Michael Cole said that Breakker was injured during training, and while they do not know exactly what his injury is, he would be out of action indefinitely.
Dave Meltzer broke on Sunday that Breakker had recently undergone hernia surgery, something that could have been serious if left untreated. Fightful reported that despite the injury, sources within WWE were optimistic that he would be able to return by WrestleMania.
PWInsider reported that Breakker’s hernia was an ongoing issue, not one that developed recently. It was determined that he would need surgery for the injury following his angle on last week’s Raw that saw him destory the announcer’s table, upset over his elimiantion from the Royal Rumble. The segment ended with general manager Adam Pearce escorting Breakker out of the building.
Breakker entered the Royal Rumble at number two, but was jumped by a hooded figure who gave him a stomp, heavily implying it was Seth Rollins. Breakker made it to the ring but was quickly eliminated.
