There is a correction to the injury news on Bronson Reed. He suffered multiple broken ribs and a lacerated kidney at Crown Jewel, not a punctured lung.
According to Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer, Reed did not suffer a punctured lung, as first reported. Alvarez said Reed has multiple broken ribs and a lacerated kidney. Reed is still in a hospital in Saudi Arabia, and he is still getting VIP treatment in Riyadh.
WWE has kept a member of its medical team with Reed, along with the company’s top international executive in the region. Fightful Select reported that WWE is being very tight-lipped about the situation, other than making it clear that taking care of Reed is a priority.
Reed was hurt during the World Tag Team Championship match at Crown Jewel on November 7, when Penta and Je’Von Evans beat Bron Breakker and Austin Theory of The Vision to win the titles. Reed got involved in the match even though he was not scheduled to wrestle, and Oba Femi threw him off the stage through tables.
Wade Barrett said on Raw on November 9 that Reed had been hospitalized after the show. That turned out to be true, and not part of a storyline. Reed did not fly home with the rest of the WWE roster.
It is the second major injury for Reed this year. He tore his distal biceps on the February 23 episode of Raw and needed surgery, which kept him out until his return at Sunday Night’s Main Event in September.
There is no update yet on how long Reed will be out, or when he will be cleared to fly back to the United States.
What is confirmed is the corrected injury list and that Reed is still hospitalized in Saudi Arabia. What is not confirmed is when he travels home, or when he returns to the ring.
