The injury bug continues to spread in WWE, with Chelsea Green and Bron Breakker as its latest victims.

After injuring her foot on Friday’s edition of “WWE SmackDown,” Green revealed that she’d be unable to defend the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships alongside Ethan Page at Lucha Libre AAA on Saturday. In her place, La Hiedra stepped up, but ultimately got pinned by Lola Vice to make the title change official for the Miami native and Mr. Iguana.

According to Fightful Select, Green’s injury is believed to be a sprained ankle, meaning the now-former champion would only miss a few weeks of in-ring action. To be sure that is the case, though, Green will reportedly undergo another evaluation today.

As for Breakker, who was tentatively set to face Seth Rollins at WWE WrestleMania 42, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that he underwent surgery for a serious hernia. Fightful additionally notes that Breakker is now expected to be on the sidelines for a number of weeks, though WWE sources are still hopeful that he can come back in time for “The Show of Shows,” which will emanate from Las Vegas on April 18 and 19. The cause of Breakker’s hernia reportedly stems from him flipping over the announce desk in the opening segment of last Monday’s “WWE Raw” episode.

On the same episode of “Raw,” WWE Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio returned to introduce the winner of the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, his on-screen girlfriend Liv Morgan. Despite that, Fightful indicates that Mysterio is still unable to compete in the ring due to his ongoing shoulder injury. WWE officials, however, are said to be optimistic that this will change in the near future.

Bad Bunny’s performance during the Super Bowl Halftime Show this past weekend was both a massive success and also a lightning rod for discussion in the modern American political climate. Despite the occasional WWE star’s global popularity, many conservatives were critical of the NFL for choosing him, to the point that right wing organization Turning Point USA ran their own halftime event to counter it.

Among those who chose to watch the latter over Bunny was Jake Paul. The internet influencer turned boxer was particularly boastful of doing so, taking to X to not only reveal he’d be turning the halftime show off, but to also use controversial rhetoric towards Bunny, whom he called “a fake American who publicly hates America.” Jake’s harsh words towards the singer/WWE star received strong rebukes, but perhaps none were more direct, nor surprising, than from his brother, WWE star Logan Paul.

“I love my brother, but I don’t agree with this,” Paul said in response to Jake’s post. “Puerto Ricans are Americans and I’m happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island.”

Paul’s defense of Puerto Rico was surprising in part due to Paul’s own history of controversy, as the WWE star has previously expressed conservative viewpoints on other matters and has shown admiration towards President Donald Trump, himself a critic of Bunny and his halftime show performance. However, Paul has strong ties to Puerto Rico, having resided in Dorado since 2021. Only two years later, Jake Paul would follow in his brother’s footsteps by purchasing a mansion in Puerto Rico, adding a slice of irony to his Sunday night criticism.

WrestleMania 41 benefited from having John Cena main eventing night two and rumors of The Rock appearing at the show, while this year, some of that star power is lacking in addition to wrestling fans and pundits being critical of the current product. It’s no secret that many have grown unhappy with WWE’s creative direction, including Reigns, who went viral after claiming the company hadn’t evolved in two years ahead of the Royal Rumble, and with the cheapest ticket available being $266.80 USD for WrestleMania 42, fans who agree with the “OTC” may feel that it’s not worth it to purchase a seat.

So how can WWE turn things around within the next two months? The most likely option would be to scrap plans and book the biggest matches possible on paper, which could be the current direction based on Meltzer’s report. Otherwise, with rumors of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin appearing in the near future, WWE could rely on some of its legends to get involved at WrestleMania 42, or give a last minute call to The Rock in order to boost sales. However, outside of disappointment towards creative, fans seem to be the most displeased with the pricing of all WWE events, which has increased due to the promotion’s partnership with TKO. Therefore, it remains to be seen if WrestleMania 42 marks a breaking point for WWE fans, who are starting to put their foot down when it comes to ticket prices.

It’s WWE WrestleMania season, and it wouldn’t be that time of year without plans for the big show changing. Already, WWE has reportedly shaken up its WrestleMania card by scrapping a proposed Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns match, instead solidifying Reigns as the challenger for CM Punk’s World Heavyweight Championship, while Rhodes appears on course to face Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. Now another potential ‘Mania change may be in the works, thanks to an untimely injury for “Raw” star Bron Breakker.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Breakker is out of action following surgery for what was described as a “serious hernia.” PWInsider has since confirmed that Breakker suffered the injury last Monday on “Raw” while flipping over the announcer’s table during an angle where Breakker destroyed the ringside area; by Wednesday, it was determined that he would require surgery. Neither report specified how long Breakker would be out of action for, potentially putting Breakker’s WrestleMania status in jeopardy.

Breakker’s “Raw” rampage was a result of an angle run at the Royal Rumble days earlier. While making his entrant at #2, Breakker was attacked by a masked individual, leading to his quick elimination by Oba Femi upon finally entering the ring. As a result, Breakker was the first Rumble participant eliminated.

Many immediately speculated that the mystery attacker was none other than Seth Rollins, who has been out of action recovering from an arm injury since October, and was last seen being betrayed by Breakker and The Vision on “Raw.” While Rollins’ status for WrestleMania had remained unknown, the Rumble angle and subsequent reporting had suggested that Breakker vs. Rollins was likely to be featured on one of Mania’s two nights.
