While Seth Rollins returned from his supposed ‘injury’ at WWE SummerSlam 2025, Bron Breakker potentially picked up a real one.
Seemingly sustaining an injury during his tag team bout with Bronson Reed against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, it could be that Bron Breakker will need to take some time off.
Here are seven possible WWE replacements for Bron Breakker in Seth Rollins’ faction.
7. Austin Theory
One star that could immediately step into the vacancy left by Bron Breakker would be Austin Theory.
While it was revealed by Grayson Waller on WWE Raw that A-Town Down Under was officially over and Theory was out of action due to an injury, no further details have been noted.
Theory was last in action on Main Event taking on El Grande Americano in a losing effort back on July 14.
With his known history on-screen with Rollins in the past as well as being touted by Paul Heyman as a star of the future, Theory seems to check a lot of the necessary boxes to join the group.

6. Ethan Page
After already capturing the NXT Championship and the NXT North American Championship in just over a year in WWE, Ethan Page seems poised to take the next step.
Already seeming to be likely to be called up in the 2025 WWE Draft, a potential vacancy left by Bron Breakker could usher Page directly into his spot as an understudy of Seth Rollins.
Reportedly discussed internally as a name being considered to join Rollins’ group, Page has already taken to social media to gloat about CM Punk’s loss.
While the menacing social behavior is commonplace for him as a top heel in NXT, the North American Champion could also be teasing joining the stable.

5. Omos
Where in the world is Omos?!
After having recently confirming that he is still signed to WWE, Omos remains absent on TV but ever present in the hearts of fans.
Able to step in as a solid stable member, Omos could probably link up with numerous current roster members, but Rollins may be able to recruit him.
Bringing a frightening stature to the group, Omos could also show off his latest in-ring skills which have continued to improve despite his absence.

4. Carmelo Hayes
If Bron Breakker was to look at past opponents to fill his boots, he should look no further than former NXT rival, Carmelo Hayes.
Despite being touted as a top talent and being drafted in the first round during the 2024 WWE Draft – including a match on his first night on SmackDown against Cody Rhodes – Melo is in need of a new storyline.
While he continues to appear frequently on TV and clearly makes the best out of whatever situation he is given, some of the magic of Melo from NXT has certainly been lost on the main roster.
However, if he were to become affiliated with Seth Rollins’ stable, Hayes could bring his in-ring abilities and cutting mic skills to WWE Raw rather than continuing to languish on SmackDown.

3. Ilja Dragunov
Ilja Dragunov seemed poised for big things upon his debut on the main roster after having previously held both the NXT Championship and the NXT UK Championship.
While he has been out of action due to injury since September 2024 after sustaining a torn ACL during a match against GUNTHER, it has been reported the Russian may be nearing a return.
With reports varying from Dragunov being ready to return between now and October, it would seem the Mad Dragon will be returning to WWE sooner rather than late either way.
Having the fiery and vicious version of Dragunov return and align with Rollins’ group would not only be a good way to bring him back into the fold, but the group would be stronger after adding another calculated and cerebral technician in the image of Rollins.

2. Oba Femi
If Bron Breakker is set to be out of action, the current NXT Champion Oba Femi could definitely seize the opportunity to join the group.
While The Ruler continues to reign supreme in NXT, he seems likely to be called up to the main roster sooner rather than later regardless.
Able to physically fit the mold of the dominant big man, Oba Femi could bring his own unique size and strength to Seth Rollins’ group.
Similarly to Breakker, Femi is a fan favorite in his own right – a character detail that could still bump up against the ego Seth Rollins whenever the group inevitably disbands.

1. Lance Anoa’i
With the real-life Bloodline member already signed to WWE, it would make total sense to see Lance Anoa’i debut in relation to that storyline.
However, it would be an interesting twist and a particularly intriguing mind game if Seth Rollins were to go out of his way to recruit Lance Anoa’i to his faction.
While Anoa’i has been signed to WWE since last year and was expected to debut in NXT, he picked up an injury instead.
Potentially ready to get back into the ring at this point or sometime soon, Anoa’i could be a major addition to the stable, with or without Bron Breakker.
