Bron Breakker Injury Update, Latest Rumors on WWE Star and Timeline to Return

Bron Breakker underwent surgery for a serious hernia and will be out for an undetermined amount of time, per Dave Meltzer in an update posted Sunday on Wrestling Observer Figure Four Online.

The 28-year-old Breakker is a two-time NXT Champion and two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion who has been on the main roster since the 2024 Royal Rumble.

Breakker, the son of WCW star Rick Steiner (and nephew of WCW star Scott Steiner), has a bright future ahead of him in the business. He should be a world champion someday and is already facing the biggest names in WWE, including Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and CM Punk.

Breakker was thought to be a potential winner of this year's Royal Rumble and ran down the ramp as the No. 2 entrant. However, a masked figure in a hoodie attacked him before he got to the ring and then threw him to No. 1 entrant Oba Femi, who easily eliminated him.

The last time Breakker truly participated in a wrestling match was the night before Royal Rumble (Jan. 30), when he and the rest of The Vision lost to Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Randy Orton and Sami Zayn.

Hopefully Breakker returns to 100 percent health ASAP and continues his upward trajectory as one of WWE's brightest young stars.
