Bronson Reed is reportedly still hospitalized in Saudi Arabia following an injury suffered during WWE Crown Jewel over the weekend.
According to Fightful Select, Reed remains in a Saudi Arabian hospital after sustaining injuries during his appearance at the premium live event in Riyadh. Although he did not compete in an official match, Reed was involved in a major ringside angle during the WWE Men’s World Tag Team Championship contest.
The report indicates that Reed suffered injuries to his kidneys and ribs, reportedly making it unsafe for him to travel back to the United States at this time.
Oba Femi’s Crown Jewel Appearance Leads to Reed’s Injury
Reed appeared during the tag team championship match between The Vision’s Austin Theory and Bron Breakker and challengers Je’Von Evans and Penta.
During the closing stages of the match, Reed interfered on behalf of The Vision, attacking Penta and helping the champions maintain control.
However, the situation changed when the lights went out and Oba Femi made his surprise appearance.
Femi immediately confronted Reed, taking him out with a corkscrew uppercut before delivering a devastating throwing slam that sent Reed off the stage and through a table.
The spot received a major reaction from the crowd, but according to the latest report, it also resulted in significant injuries for Reed.
WWE Personnel Reportedly Staying Behind to Assist Reed
Fightful Select also reported that WWE has kept a medical official and the company’s top international executive in Saudi Arabia alongside Reed.
The decision was reportedly made to ensure that the injured Superstar receives appropriate care, with the report describing the treatment as “VIP treatment.”
Neither official was identified in the report.
It remains unclear when Reed will be medically cleared to travel back to the United States or how long he could be sidelined because of the injuries.
Another Difficult Setback for Bronson Reed
The reported injury is particularly unfortunate given Reed’s recent history with time away from the ring.
The WWE Superstar already spent a significant portion of 2026 on the sidelines after suffering an injury in February.
Reed eventually returned to action in early September and had been working his way back into WWE programming before the Crown Jewel incident.
Now, another potential recovery period could be ahead for the Australian powerhouse.
For the time being, the priority will be Reed’s health and ensuring he can safely return home before beginning the next stage of his recovery.
Everyone at WrestlingNewsBlog wishes Bronson Reed a speedy recovery.
