Over the weekend Crown Jewel aired live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Je’Von Evans & Penta defeated Austin Theory & Bron Breakker to become the new WWE World Tag Team Champions. During the match Bronson Reed tried to interfere, but Oba Femi interrupted and the two ended up brawling before Femi threw Reed off the stage.
Following the show Fightful Select reported that Bronson Reed was hospitalized in Saudi Arabia due to rib and kidney injuries he suffered during the show. The Wrestling Observer later reported that Bronson Reed also suffered a punctured lung, but it seems as though that was not correct.
Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer is now reporting that Bronson Reed does not have a punctured lung. However, Reed broke multiple ribs and suffered a lacerated kidney.
Alvarez wrote, “Bronson Reed actually has multiple broken ribs and a lacerated kidney, not a punctured lung. Here is hoping to a very speedy recovery.”
WWE medical personnel reportedly stayed in Saudi Arabia with Bronson Reed, and he is said to be receiving the VIP treatment in the hospital. There’s currently no word on how long he will be out of action, but this is unfortunately Bronson’s second injury this year as he previously suffered a bicep tear that kept him sidelined for several months.
Stay tuned for more updates on Bronson Reed’s status as they become available.
