Concerns are growing for Bron Breakker following the opening match of WWE SummerSlam Night 1, after fan-filmed footage surfaced showing the rising star being helped backstage by WWE officials.
Breakker teamed with Bronson Reed in a hard-hitting tag team clash against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso to kick off the premium live event. However, shortly after the match concluded, several fan videos began circulating on social media showing Breakker in visible discomfort as he exited the ringside area.
In the clips, Breakker appears unable to put any weight on his left leg, requiring assistance from referees and WWE medical personnel. He was seen limping heavily and leaning on staff for support while being guided through the entrance tunnel and away from the arena floor.

As of this writing, WWE has not released an official update on Breakker’s condition or the severity of the potential injury. It remains unclear whether the issue occurred during the match or was the result of a pre-existing condition aggravated by in-ring action.
Breakker, one of WWE’s most heavily pushed young stars, has been prominently featured on television in recent months. Any extended absence could be a major blow to his momentum, especially with several major storylines unfolding heading into the fall.
PWMania.com will provide updates on Bron Breakker’s status as more information becomes available.
