Paul Heyman Says Bron Breakker Will Return “Better Than Ever” After Injury

Paul Heyman Says Bron Breakker Will Return “Better Than Ever” After Injury

Paul Heyman continues his media tour promoting WWE 2K26 and the upcoming Elimination Chamber event, and during a new interview with Catch Club, he addressed Bron Breakker’s current injury status and what fans can expect when the former NXT Champion eventually returns.

Heyman didn’t shy away from the reality of Breakker’s setback, but made it clear that injuries are simply part of the business—and that Breakker’s comeback will be stronger than ever.

Heyman on Breakker’s injury and eventual return

Speaking candidly, Heyman emphasized that injuries are unavoidable in WWE, especially for someone who performs with the intensity of Bron Breakker:

“You’re rolling with the punches, bro. Of course you’re gonna get hurt. This ain’t ballet. So, you know, injuries are expected and it’s never gonna happen at the most convenient time. Injuries are gonna happen at the one moment where you don’t want an injury to happen… We’re always prepared to roll with the punches, and Bron Breakker will be back, and when he’s back, he’s going to be better than ever.”

Breakker has been sidelined in recent weeks, and while WWE has not publicly confirmed the exact nature of his injury, Heyman’s comments suggest the company is confident in his long‑term trajectory.

Why Heyman’s comments matter

  • Breakker has been positioned as one of WWE’s top rising stars, especially since aligning with The Vision.
  • His absence has created a noticeable gap on TV, particularly with WrestleMania season approaching.
  • Heyman publicly backing him reinforces WWE’s investment in Breakker’s future and hints at major plans once he’s cleared.

What’s next for Breakker?

WWE has not announced a timetable for his return, but Heyman’s tone suggests the company expects him to come back refreshed and ready for a major push. Given Breakker’s momentum before the injury, his comeback could easily reshape the post‑WrestleMania landscape.

Seth Rollins Vows To Reclaim World Heavyweight Championship After Injury Layoff

Seth Rollins Vows To Reclaim World Heavyweight Championship After Injury Layoff

Former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has made it clear that he still considers himself the rightful holder of the title he never lost in the ring. As the Road to WrestleMania 42 continues at Elimination Chamber in Chicago, Rollins is already focused on reclaiming the championship once he is medically cleared.

Rollins recently appeared on ESPN’s First Take, where he was asked about his goals while rehabbing a torn rotator cuff suffered at WWE Crown Jewel in October. The injury forced him to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship, ending his reign without a decisive defeat.

“That is a loaded question. There’s a ton of guys that I’d like to get in the ring with, but the bottom line is whoever is holding on to my World Heavyweight Championship, because what you got to understand is I never lost that title,” Rollins said. “I was forced to give that title up due to injuries. I want my title back. Right now, CM Punk is holding on to that title, but he’s going into WrestleMania here very shortly. Actually, Elimination Chamber, since we’re talking about it, he’s got to get past Finn Balor. Finn Balor, a former Universal Champion. So Finn Balor could be taking that into WrestleMania. Either way, somebody’s defending that title against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, and whoever comes out of that, I want next, boys. That title’s mine. I never lost it.”

CM Punk is set to defend the championship against Finn Balor tonight at the United Center. The winner will move on to face Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 42 at Allegiant Stadium.

Rollins has been sidelined for several months. His absence has left The Vision weakened, especially following injuries to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Despite that setback, Rollins’ message is direct. Once he returns, he intends to step back into the title picture and reclaim what he believes is still his.

John Morrison Shaved Bald After CMLL Event

John Morrison Shaved Bald After CMLL Event

Former WWE star John Morrison, now competing in CMLL as Johnny Consejo, had his head shaved after losing a high-stakes Lucha de Apuestas match against Ángel de Oro on Friday night.

The bout headlined CMLL’s Viernes Espectacular at the historic Arena México in Mexico City. The rivalry intensified quickly after a four-way match on February 20, where Consejo pinned de Oro. In a follow-up promo, de Oro stated he would not allow a “foreigner” to disrespect his country or the promotion, adding personal weight to the wager.

Speaking to Más Lucha ahead of the showdown, de Oro emphasized what was at stake. “I can’t lose. If I lose my hair, people will lose faith in me.”

The finish saw de Oro connect with a frog splash to score the decisive pinfall. After the match, Consejo initially resisted honoring the stipulation and refused to let the official cut his hair. De Oro responded with a superkick, which allowed the official to proceed. Consejo’s head was then fully shaved in the ring in front of the live crowd.

Consejo has been a regular presence in CMLL since late January 2026. He has frequently aligned with Mansoor and Mason Madden as part of the MxM Collection, known in Mexico as MxM TV. Despite his CMLL run, Morrison remains signed to AEW, where he performs as Johnny TV.

As part of the stipulation fallout, Consejo is scheduled to wrestle bald on Saturday at Arena Coliseo. He will face Ángel de Oro and Esfinge in a three-way main event as the feud continues.

WWE’s Royce Keys (FKA Powerhouse Hobbs) Details Royal Rumble Debut

Royce Keys, the former Powerhouse Hobbs in AEW, made his WWE debut in a big way, as the 14th entrant into the Royal Rumble match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Debuting at the premium live event required a good about of secrecy, even in the foreign country. Keys sat down with Stephanie McMahon on her “What’s Your Story?” podcast after his debut, and talked about everything around his first WWE appearance, from the flight over, to how he kept hidden, and his slight frustration with the latter.

“It was funny because I asked [Paul “Triple H” Levesque.] I love working out,” he said. “It’s a stress reliever for me. And I’m talking to Paul, like, ‘Hey. I’m here. Think I can maybe use the hotel gym?’ And it was just like, I knew what was coming next. I asked him, about five seconds of silence… He’s like, ‘Well, we don’t want you to be seen and you’re a surprise,’ and I’m like, ‘Man, okay.’ I know this whole silence thing growing up. Silence means, ‘No.’ But, he was cool. I had a bench delivered to my room, some bands and some dumbbells. He took care of me.”

As for the flight, Keys described it being “hella long.” He explained to McMahon he entertained the woman he sat beside, who witnessed his struggles, being too large for the seat to be comfortable, despite it reclining.

Keys has yet to make his debut on WWE television, and what brand he’ll end up on is not currently known. His appearance on McMahon’s podcast has been his most recent appearance for anything WWE-related since the Rumble on January 31.

WWE HOFer Eric Bischoff Gives Thoughts On Bron Breakker

Second-generation star Bron Breakker has caught the attention of many veterans with not only his presentation but the potential he has to become a main event star. As someone who worked with Breakker’s father and uncle – Rick and Scott Steiner – Eric Bischoff recently weighed in on WWE’s utilization of him.

“I really thought they were setting him up,” Bischoff exclaimed during an episode of his “83 Weeks” podcast, criticizing how WWE ended up having Breakker eliminated early in the Royal Rumble instead of potentially winning it. “He’s ready – which is what I’ve said – he’s been ready for at least a year, maybe two. The audience was ready for him; I think this was his spot.”

Bischoff then opined that while he doesn’t think that Roman Reigns instead winning the Royal Rumble is bad, it’s a safe fallback to something familiar.

“Let’s see what they figure out, I have faith that they will because they’re smart,” the WWE Hall of Famer noted. “If they can break out of that ‘Uh, Roman again?’ kind of vibe? Let’s see if they can make that happen. I hope so.”

At the time of writing, Breakker is still currently undergoing rehab for a serious hernia he sustained during the February 2nd episode of “WWE Raw,” after flipping over a commentary desk. The star is reported to be working hard at a return, but until then, his potential WrestleMania match is up in the air.
