How Bron Breakker Suffered His Hernia Injury During WWE RAW Explained

Bron Breakker’s hernia wasn’t an old injury flaring up—it happened live on Raw, and it’s serious enough to pull him completely off the road.

PWInsider reports that the WWE star suffered the injury during his segment on the January 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, where he flipped over the announcers’ table in a fit of rage.

“We are told that Breakker was hurt during last Monday's Raw when he flipped the table over.”

By that Wednesday—February 4—it was determined that he would need surgery to repair the hernia. That decision pulled him from all immediate WWE plans. Breakker has now officially been removed from all WWE travel.

“We are also told that by Wednesday 2/4, it was determined he was going to require a surgery for a hernia.”

“Breakker is officially off the road while he recovers. We are told there is currently no timetable for his return at this moment.”

The update lines up with what Dave Meltzer previously reported in the Wrestling Observer Daily Update:

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

The injury casts new light on his final on-screen moments. At the Royal Rumble, Breakker was ambushed before even reaching the ring—stomped by a masked man assumed to be Seth Rollins—then eliminated shortly after entering. The next night on Raw, he went into full destruction mode, tossing furniture and getting in the announcers’ faces before Adam Pearce ejected him from the building.

At the time, everything Bron Breakker did on screen was treated as business as usual, with no indication that anything had gone wrong. It wasn’t until days later that doctors determined he had suffered a serious hernia requiring surgery, a diagnosis that immediately pulled him off the road with no timetable for return. What first looked like a normal stretch of TV now stands as the last time fans would see Breakker before an unexpected medical shutdown.

When he’s finally cleared to return, does WWE slide him right back into the spotlight, or does this setback force a shift in plans? Only time will tell.
