Bronson Reed is expected to be out for a while after suffering a serious arm injury on the February 23 episode of WWE RAW. It seems like Reed will be needing surgery and could be sidelined through WrestleMania 42.
The injury happened during an Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Jey Uso and El Grande Americano. Reed was reportedly scheduled to win the match. But things changed during the match after he got hurt.
The injury appeared to have happened when Reed tried to break up a pin. Soon after, he grabbed his right arm and rolled out of the ring. He stayed at the ringside for the rest of the match and looked to be in a lot of pain.
Later on, Michael Cole confirmed that Reed suffered a distal biceps tear in his right arm. This type of injury usually requires surgery and can take around three to six months, depending on recovery.
Bronson Reed Reportedly Slated For Surgery
Now, a new report from Fightful states that Reed will be going under the knife and will be sidelined through WrestleMania 42. “Bronson Reed is slated for surgery soon and is expected to be sidelined through WrestleMania, @FightfulSelect has learned,” the report states.
The timing is tough for Reed. He has been a key member of Paul Heyman’s Vision faction, alongside Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory. With Breakker already out due to hernia surgery, Reed’s injury leaves the group even more short-handed.
Even so, Reed is staying positive. He recently posted on social media, thanking fans for their support and promising to return stronger than ever.
WWE hasn’t given an exact return date, but missing WrestleMania 42 is a big setback. For now, the focus is on his surgery and recovery.
We hope he comes back stronger than ever soon.
