Bron Breakker has cleared up the rumors surrounding the injury that sidelined him for several months earlier this 12 months.
The previous WWE Intercontinental Champion was written off television through the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble match after entering at No. 2 and being eliminated by Oba Femi in only 10 seconds. The shocking exit got here after a mysterious hooded attacker — later revealed to be Seth Rollins — laid him out before the match could truly begin.
The next night on Monday Night RAW, Breakker unleashed his frustration by tearing apart the ringside area, even flipping over the commentary desk. Afterward, reports circulated that he suffered a hernia while overturning the announce table, forcing him to miss motion until his return at WrestleMania 42.
Nevertheless, during episode 4 of season three of Netflix’s WWE: Unreal, Breakker revealed that the injury had nothing to do with the physical destruction at ringside. He said,
“I used to be presupposed to destroy the set, get as mad as I possibly could. It had nothing to do with physicality or anything like that. It happened after I was screaming. My entire midsection locked up.”
“I went to the back; we still had another shot to do. I used to be within the locker room, and I used to be kinda’ like hunched over, holding my stomach, [thinking] ‘What the hell just happened?’”
“Then I went to arise to do the second shot, and I couldn’t arise. My stomach was — I couldn’t come out of this [position]. Ultimately I went into medical, said ‘Hey, I believe something’s happening, I believe it’s a hernia.’ The doc took one have a look at it and [said], ‘Yeah, we want to go to the hospital without delay. You would like surgery.’”
Breakker ultimately underwent surgery and remained out of motion until making his return at WrestleMania 42.
