The opening contest of WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night One featured a tag team match pitting Roman Reigns and Jey Uso against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The team of Reigns and Uso secured the victory in this intense bout. Despite the outcome, attention quickly shifted to Bron Breakker after fans captured a clip at MetLife Stadium showing him limping and being assisted backstage by a WWE official.
This incident has triggered widespread concern among the WWE Universe regarding the status of Bron Breakker’s health. Reports indicate he may have sustained an injury during a risky table spot in the match, as commentator Michael Cole noted Breakker landed awkwardly on his knee. However, no official statement has yet confirmed the extent of any injury Bron Breakker might have suffered in the ring.
Veteran Jim Cornette Draws Comparisons Between Bron Breakker and Brock Lesnar
Jim Cornette, a respected figure in professional wrestling, publicly praised Bron Breakker during an episode of his YouTube show. He highlighted Breakker’s partnership with Paul Heyman and drew parallels between Breakker and former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. Cornette expressed optimism about Breakker’s potential and natural wrestling talent, calling Heyman’s involvement a positive influence.
“Paul is stepping up and being a spokesperson for Bron Breakker. It worked for Brock and Bron’s a whole lot more natural pro wrestling talent than Brock Lesnar was. So, that is good. And that’s what we were hoping would happen in Seth’s absence,” Cornette said on The Jim Cornette Experience. [2:16 – 2:35]
