Matt Hardy has commented on the uncertainty facing the upcoming WrestleMania card following reports that Bron Breakker underwent hernia surgery. Breakker’s ability to compete at WrestleMania remains unclear, leaving WWE to reconsider how Seth Rollins will be featured if their planned match cannot proceed. The focus on Seth Rollins WrestleMania appearance has intensified due to these developments.
Matt Hardy Advocates for Seth Rollins’ Inclusion Regardless of Wrestling Status
On his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Hardy expressed that Seth Rollins should still be part of WrestleMania, given his significant star power and value to the show. Hardy highlighted the disruption caused by Breakker’s injury to WWE’s storyline continuity, explaining how both wrestlers were gaining momentum before the setback.
“It’s wild…..Seth was on such a good role when all that stuff happened. Bron Breakker was starting to get on a roll, too. And it’s made everything so wonky in their continuity of the story, which is unfortunate. Man, it just considering how young he is, if it wasn’t a terrible hernia situation, I mean, I might could even see them using this to kind of play it up a little bit like maybe he’s not going to be there, but then maybe he is still there.”

Hardy added that Rollins’ presence at WrestleMania could be leveraged to maintain viewer interest, regardless of whether he competes in a match.
“I think I would have Seth there in some capacity, because he’s just such a big star, and I think you want to make that event as star-studded as possible. I mean, I would imagine now too, you would agree, whenever he got taken out of the Royal Rumble, they would put all that heat on Seth, right? That. Would be Seth, supposedly, is how they would book that long term,”
Hardy said.
Advocating for Creative Involvement if Seth Rollins Does Not Wrestle
When pressed on whether Rollins should be excluded if he cannot wrestle due to Breakker’s absence, Hardy clarified that Rollins’ appearance alone carries weight. He suggested Rollins could be involved through a storyline or angle to enhance WrestleMania’s overall appeal.
“I should have spoke more specifically, just because I would just have Seth appear in some capacity, even if it’s not to wrestle, you know what I mean, I would have him there to do some sort of angle or story. He’s such a big star, I think having his presence on Mania helps out.”

Implications for WrestleMania and WWE Storylines
The uncertainty surrounding Breakker’s participation creates pressure for WWE to adjust its WrestleMania plans, with Seth Rollins positioned as a key figure to sustain fan interest. Hardy’s insights underscore the challenge WWE faces in maintaining storyline continuity while preserving the event’s star appeal. Rollins’ involvement, whether in the ring or through a creative segment, is expected to be central to WrestleMania’s success if Breakker remains sidelined.
WWE’s next steps will likely involve creative shifts focusing on Rollins, reflecting his status as one of the organization’s top talents. Fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how the storyline adapts as the event approaches.
