Bron Breakker reportedly has surgery for a “serious hernia” following the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble

At the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble PLE, Bron Breakker was attacked by a mystery man. The individual delivered a curb stomp to Breakker, leading fans to speculate that it might have been Seth Rollins.

While Breakker vs. Rollins has been rumored for WrestleMania 42, Breakker’s status for the event is now in question. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following on Sunday…

“Bron Brekker had surgery for a serious hernia. No word on how long he’ll be out.”

Barbourortho.com stated the following about recovery from hernia surgery for athletes…

“Recovery Timeline Expectations: With optimal care, most athletes can expect to return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, sport-specific training within 6-8 weeks, and full competition within 8-12 weeks. However, the fastest recovery hernia results come from following proven protocols rather than rushing the process.”
