With certain WrestleMania 42 plans hinging on his status, there's now an update on where things are with WWE's Bron Breakker.

Bron underwent "serious" hernia surgery in early February, which was just one of several setbacks for the Vision. First, Seth Rollins had shoulder surgery after getting injured at Crown Jewel last October, causing WWE to change direction and have Rollins kicked out of the group. With tentative plans to do Rollins vs. Breakker at 'Mania 42 should Seth be cleared in time, things took a further turn when Bron required hernia surgery, just as the Visionary was on the cusp of his return. Of course, on top of that, Bronson Reed suffered a biceps tear at the end of February that's expected to keep him on the sidelines for a large part of 2026, leaving the Vision currently as just Logan Paul and Austin Theory.

However, in some positive news, PWInsider reports Bron Breakker is set to report to the WWE Performance Center this week as part of the process of getting the second-generation Steiner cleared to return to the ring. This comes on the back of recent reports that WWE was "optimistic" that Breakker would be back in time for WrestleMania 42 - a PLE that's now less than four weeks away.

Previously, it was said that Bron Breakker's WrestleMania status - as in, whether he'd be cleared or not - could impact plans for not only Seth Rollins, but also possibly LA Knight, Logan Paul, Austin Theory, the Usos, and even Brock Lesnar.

That said, it's now been announced that Lesnar will face Oba Femi at this year's Showcase of the Immortals, and it appears as if Paul and Theory will be doing something with the Usos. Question marks certainly remain about LA Knight's WrestleMania 42 status, though...
