WWE’s Bronson Reed undergoes successful biceps surgery

Four days after tearing his biceps on Monday Night Raw, Bronson Reed emerged from surgery with a positive message for his fans. 

Reed shared a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed, tied up in all manner of equipment and braces, on Instagram late Friday night. He included a simple message: “Surgery done. Tomorrow is DAY ONE. The road back.”

Reed tore his biceps during an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on Raw. He was originally scheduled to win the match, but could not continue. That led to Jey Uso winning the match instead. Then, tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown opened with Uso being placed into an ambulance, having been assaulted by an unknown attacker. 

Logan Paul, Reed’s stablemate in the Vision, faced Jacob Fatu later in the show, with the winner replacing Uso in the Chamber match. Paul won the match after WWE Champion Drew McIntyre attacked Fatu.

Assuming nobody else is taken off the show in the next 24 hours, the field for the Men’s Elimination Chamber match is set, with Paul joining Randy Orton, LA Knight, Cody Rhodes, Je’Von Evans, and Trick Williams Saturday night in Chicago. The winner will then be scheduled to challenge McIntyre at WrestleMania 42 in April.
