Report: Bronson Reed to undergo surgery
An update on Bronson Reed is now available.
Reed was injured during the opening match of WWE Raw this week, which led to a change in the planned finish. Michael Cole later announced on commentary that Reed suffered a torn biceps.
PWInsider reported on Wednesday that Reed’s injury is a distal bicep tear and he is expected to undergo surgery shortly if he has not done so already. The report notes that he was sent from Monday’s Raw in Atlanta to Birmingham, Alabama for the procedure.
Reed’s injury was addressed by Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez 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.”
