It’s actually easy to hate any injury that happens on “Raw,” but poor Bronson Reed happening with a torn bicep, taking out yet one more member of the seemingly snakebitten Vision sucks quite a bit. And, truthfully, it looks like some strange inner working of the universe is attempting to punish WWE creative for running a fake injury angle with former World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins last summer. Well. Perhaps it isn’t THAT dramatic, but it surely actually appears like it at this point, between Rollins, Bron Breakker requiring surgery for a hernia just just a few weeks ago, and now, Reed.
I didn’t see exactly where it happened within the match, but the subsequent thing I knew, Reed was on the skin being checked out by a medical official, and when commentary mentioned he was pointing toward his bicep, I knew the poor guy was cooked. And, from the extremely transient research I just did into the injury, saying he’ll be out indefinitely was the fitting call, as without speculating an excessive amount of, it looks like things can vary quite a bit with that variety of tear.
Reed was also reportedly meant to win the match, so, in fact, when he went down on the skin, the match went to pieces a bit, with the Original El Grande Americano, who just returned from injury himself, working with Jey Uso, who, well, hasn’t exactly been the most effective on his feet as a singles competitor, especially since losing the World Heavyweight Championship quite a while ago. It was clunky, but they got through it, with Uso getting the victory to maneuver on to the Chamber. Now, WWE has much more things to rewrite, though, hopefully not much, as I didn’t exactly expect Reed to win the Chamber.
And, perhaps, worst of all, this leaves The Vision with just Austin Theory and Logan Paul alongside Paul Heyman. And yeesh. I do not exactly think those two can carry a faction, even alongside probably the most legendary mangers in WWE history, for an undetermined period of time at this point. There’s an excessive amount of unanswered, from the masked man attacking the group, to Breakker and Rollins needing to settle their differences, every time which may be, for the faction to simply quietly disband.
I shouldn’t have any faith in WWE steering The Vision’s ship in any interesting, or at the least not extremely annoying, direction, now as Reed sits on the sideline now, as well. The Vision was already going to flounder without Breakker, and this was yet one more hit to the group. All of it just sucks for everybody involved, and most of all, I just hope Reed has a speedy recovery. He deserves so far more as a performer.
