Bron Breakker Recalls Suffering Hernia On 2/3 WWE Raw, ‘My Body Quit On Me’

Bron Breakker discusses the injury that took him out of the equation for WrestleMania 42.

After failing to win the Royal Rumble match, Breakker kicked off the February 2 episode of WWE Raw by destroying the ringside area.

In the middle of this segment, Breakker’s midsection locked up.

“I was supposed to destroy the set and get as mad as I possibly could. Had nothing to do with physicality or anything like that. It happened when I was screaming, my entire midsection locked up. I went to the back and we still had one more shot to do. I was in the locker room and I was kind of hunched over holding my stomach like, what the hell just happened? When I went to stand up to do the second shot, I couldn’t stand up. I couldn’t come out of this hunched over, feel sorry for me crap.” Breakker said on the fourth episode of WWE Unreal Season Three.

Breakker ended up going to medical, where he learned about his hernia.

“Ultimately, I went into medical and I said, ‘I think something’s going on. I think it’s a hernia.’ The doc took one look at it and went, ‘Yeah, we need to go to the hospital right now, get surgery.’ I just kinda let everybody down. It sucked. I’d gone on this journey for a year and put in all this work in, done all this stuff. My body quit on me. There’s nothing I could do, otherwise I would’ve done it.”

Bron Breakker didn’t return to the company until WrestleMania 42, where he attacked Seth Rollins. He returned to the ring in May at the Backlash event.

Elsewhere in this show, it was revealed that Breakker was considered to win this year’s Royal Rumble match. Learn more here.
