Bronson Reed has successfully undergone surgery to repair a torn distal biceps suffered during the February 23 episode of Monday Night Raw. The powerhouse member of The Vision provided an update to fans late Friday night, sharing a photo from his hospital bed with the caption, “Surgery done. Tomorrow is DAY ONE. The road back.”
The injury occurred during a triple-threat Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Jey Uso and El Grande Americano. Reed was reportedly scheduled to win the contest and advance to the Premium Live Event in Chicago, but an audible was called in the ring after he suffered the tear, leading to Uso securing the victory instead. Reed now joins fellow stablemates Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker on the injury list, further fueling fan discussion that the faction is “cursed.”
Reed’s absence has triggered a significant chain reaction in WWE creative plans. On the February 27 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Jey Uso was written off the show after being loaded into an ambulance following a mysterious backstage assault. This led to a qualifying match between Jacob Fatu and Logan Paul to determine who would take the final spot in the Chamber. Paul secured the win after Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyre interfered, striking Fatu with the title belt while security was distracted by a decoy masked man.
With Logan Paul officially added to the field, the lineup for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match is set. Paul will join Randy Orton, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes, Je’Von Evans, and Trick Williams this Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. The winner will advance to challenge McIntyre for the championship at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
While Reed is expected to be out for the remainder of the WrestleMania season, he was sent to Birmingham, Alabama, immediately following his injury to see specialists. WWE is now undergoing heavy rewrites for the “masked man” storyline that originally featured Reed. We wish him a speedy recovery.
