Gunther Busted Nose & Bron Breakker Knee Injuries Update

As noted before, Bron Breakker suffered a potential knee injury following his tag team match with Bronson Reed against Roman Reigns & Jey Uso at WWE’s SummerSlam 2025 Night 1 event in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Besides Breakker, Gunther also suffered a potential busted nose injury during his match against CM Punk for the WWE Wold Heavyweight Championship at the event.

In regards to Breakker, Dave Meltzer reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources confirmed that Breakker had suffered a knee injury but the severity of it is currently not known. Meltzer speculated that Breakker’s injury may have caused WWE to change their plans a bit for Seth Rollins’ cash-in moment on CM Punk on the show due to his limited ability to be involved and had Rollins just beatdown Punk on his own for the angle.

Fightful Select reported that one reader informed them that Breakker had arrived about an hour late to his photo-op session that took place earlier today. It was reported that this person stated that the WWE rep who accompanied Breakker was telling workers to speed through the photos upon Breakker’s arrival. This same person reportedly stated that Breakker’s knee appeared a “bit swollen” when they saw it at the event.

It was reported that those spoken to within WWE stated that Breakker was going to be evaluated and they hoped it wasn’t bad.

In regards to Gunther, Meltzer reported in the same episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources stated that Gunther is currently scheduled to undergo surgery soon for his nose. Meltzer also reported that Gunther’s busted nose injury during his match against Punk was “100 percent worked” and was something that was planned by WWE officials for the match.
