Bronson Reed Reportedly Remains In Saudi Arabia Following Crown Jewel Injury

Bronson Reed is reportedly still in Saudi Arabia following an injury at WWE’s Crown Jewel event.

On Saturday, after months of speculation over whether the show would get moved, or even take place at all, WWE held its Crown Jewel in Riyadh. Second on the card saw Bron Breakker and Austin Theory of The Vision look to defend the World Tag Team Championships against Je’Von Evans and Penta in a match which broke down when Bronson Reed interfered on behalf of his teammates. However, the Australian was halted when Oba Femi arrived, eventually being thrown from the stage through a table by “The Ruler”, with it now emerging that Reed didn’t escape unscathed.

According to a new report from Fightful Select it’s believed Bronson Reed is still in Saudi Arabia due to an injury sustained during the tag team title match that featured The Vision.

“Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has learned that WWE Superstar Bronson Reed is still in Saudi Arabia, after sustaining an injury at WWE Crown Jewel. The claim internally was that there were rib and kidney injuries to Bronson on the show. We’re told WWE assigned of their team’s medical personnel to stay with him, and has their top international executive in the region onsite with him to ensure Reed has VIP treatment.”

Given the potential injuries stated, it makes sense that WWE would keep Reed in Saudi Arabia, as air travel has been known to aggravate certain injuries due to the high altitudes, especially during long flights, such as crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

As of writing, it’s unclear exactly how long Reed is set to spend on the sidelines, or when he’ll be able to travel back from Saudi Arabia. However, given the 38-year-old suffered a significant arm injury in February which he only come back from two months ago, this will come as another blow to his momentum.

Of course, we wish Bronson Reed well with his recovery and look forward to seeing him return as soon as he’s able.
