Injury Update on WWE Star Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed’s WWE run has hit an unfortunate pause following a serious injury at Survivor Series WarGames last month. During the high-stakes match, Reed broke his foot after an awkward landing while delivering his signature Tsunami Splash. The injury has now led to Reed reportedly needing surgery, with multiple sources suggesting he’ll be out of action for quite some time.

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided an update on Reed’s condition, revealing that fans shouldn’t expect to see the big man back in time for WrestleMania 40.

“He’s not expected back for WrestleMania. It’s expected to be a long time,” Meltzer said.

Backing up this report, PWInsider noted that Reed has already arrived in Birmingham, Alabama — the go-to location for WWE talent needing surgery. While there’s no exact timeline for his return, it’s clear the injury is significant enough to keep Reed sidelined for months.

Reed’s Rising Momentum Halted

Before the injury, Reed was in the middle of a strong push from WWE. His presence in the WarGames main event was a clear signal of how highly the company viewed him, as he joined Solo Sikoa and the New Bloodline as a last-minute powerhouse addition. Reed had also been building momentum with key rivalries against Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, and The Miz — and many fans believed his second WWE run was positioning him for bigger things.

Reed, who returned to WWE in 2022 after a brief release in 2021, had established himself as a dominant force on Raw. Known for his athleticism despite his size, Reed’s Tsunami Splash has become one of WWE’s most devastating finishers. Unfortunately, it was during this same move that his injury occurred.

WarGames Fallout: Multiple Injuries

Reed wasn’t the only superstar to leave WarGames worse for wear. WWE announced that Tonga Loa also sustained a significant injury, leaving him out of action indefinitely, while Jimmy Uso suffered a broken toe but is expected to make a quicker return.

For now, WWE will have to shift its plans without Bronson Reed, but there’s no doubt the WWE Universe will be eager for his comeback. Given his size, strength, and growing fanbase, it’s likely Reed will pick up right where he left off once he’s cleared to return.
