Report: Bronson Reed injury leads to rewrites of masked man angle
Bronson Reed’s injury on WWE Raw has reportedly led to rewrites of the masked man angle.
Reed tore his biceps on the February 23 episode of Raw during an Elimination Chamber qualifying match that was ultimately won by Jey Uso. Reed was the planned winner but was not able to finish the match.
According to a report from WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, Logan Paul and the masked man were scheduled to be part of the finish to Reed’s match on Monday before he was injured. The report adds that the masked man angle will likely undergo heavy rewrites as a result.
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed Reed’s injury on the post-WWE Raw edition of Wrestling Observer Radio this week.
“It was actually the running sliding lariat that did it,” Alvarez said.
“He was breaking up a pin and literally in breaking up the pin, he just kind of hooked him with the arm to break it up, and he immediately looked at his arm.”
Meltzer noted, “(Reed) was gonna win the match, by the way. I think most people already know that anyway, but he was going to win that match.”
