Overview
- PWInsider reported Breakker was injured on the Feb. 2 Raw while flipping the announce table, with surgery determined by Feb. 4.
- On Raw, Michael Cole said Breakker is out “indefinitely,” and PWInsider noted he has been pulled from upcoming appearances with no timetable to return.
- Dave Meltzer said the surgery was more intrusive than a standard repair and estimated recovery could range from roughly 12 weeks to six months, rejecting rumors of a career-threatening issue.
- Breakker’s WrestleMania 42 participation is in doubt, and reporting indicates WWE is reassessing creative plans that had pointed to a match with Seth Rollins.
- Reporting also states his quick Royal Rumble elimination and masked-attack angle were not caused by the injury, which was linked to the subsequent Raw segment.
