It’s WWE WrestleMania season, and it would not be that point of yr without plans for the large show changing. Already, WWE has reportedly shaken up its WrestleMania card by scrapping a proposed Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns match, as an alternative solidifying Reigns because the challenger for CM Punk’s World Heavyweight Championship, while Rhodes appears on target to face Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. Now one other potential ‘Mania change could also be within the works, because of an premature injury for “Raw” star Bron Breakker.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Breakker is out of motion following surgery for what was described as a “serious hernia.” PWInsider has since confirmed that Breakker suffered the injury last Monday on “Raw” while flipping over the announcer’s table during an angle where Breakker destroyed the ringside area; by Wednesday, it was determined that he would require surgery. Neither report specified how long Breakker could be out of motion for, potentially putting Breakker’s WrestleMania status in jeopardy.
Breakker’s “Raw” rampage was a results of an angle run on the Royal Rumble days earlier. While making his entrant at #2, Breakker was attacked by a masked individual, resulting in his quick elimination by Oba Femi upon finally entering the ring. In consequence, Breakker was the primary Rumble participant eliminated.
Many immediately speculated that the mystery attacker was none aside from Seth Rollins, who has been out of motion recovering from an arm injury since October, and was last seen being betrayed by Breakker and The Vision on “Raw.” While Rollins’ status for WrestleMania had remained unknown, the Rumble angle and subsequent reporting had suggested that Breakker vs. Rollins was more likely to be featured on certainly one of Mania’s two nights.
