During last night’s episode of “WWE Raw,” Bronson Reed suffered a legitimate torn bicep in his Elimination Chamber qualifying match with Jey Uso and the unique El Grande Americano, causing him to be faraway from the competition. Uso would eventually pin Americano to pickup the win, but shortly after the match, WrestleVotes reported that Reed was originally planned to emerge victorious, and through Tuesday’s edition of the “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer confirmed that the “Aus-Zilla” was initially heading to the Elimination Chamber.
“He was going to win the match by the best way. I feel most individuals already know that anyway but he was going to win that match. They usually had taken him out they usually mainly needed to do an impromptu and everybody knew he was hurt and it took away from that match.”
Following the injury, Michael Cole announced that Reed could be out indefinitely with the tear, making him the third member of The Vision to sustain a long-term injury. The leader of the group, Seth Rollins, remains to be recovering from a torn rotator cuff that he suffered during his match with Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, causing him to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship. Breakker’s injury is more moderen, as he’s been out of motion for the reason that starting of the month attributable to a serious hernia, which he reportedly picked up on the February 2 episode of “Raw.” Nonetheless, Meltzer also reported last week that each Rollins and Breakker are “rehabbing their a**** off” to get back within the ring, and can hopefully return in Reed’s absence.
