There was a lot controversy leading up the Crown Jewel over the weekend as many people questioned whether or not the company should move the event due to the recent attacks in Riyadh. Following the show it was reported that the WWE roster touched down safely in the United States on Sunday, but it seems that not everyone made it home.

Wade Barrett noted that Bronson Reed is still in the hospital following Crown Jewel, and that is said to be accurate. The claim internally is that Bronson Reed suffered rib and kidney injuries during the show.
According to the report WWE assigned a member of their medical personnel to stay with Bronson Reed, and the company’s top international executive in the region is on site with Reed to make sure he receives the VIP treatment.
Bronson Reed didn’t wrestle at Crown Jewel, but he was featured in the WWE World Tag Team Championship match which saw Je’Von Evans & Penta defeat Bron Breakker & Austin Theory to become the new champions.
At one point during the match Bronson Reed tried to interfere, but Oba Femi came out to even the odds. Femi brawled with Bronson Reed and their heated altercation ended with Femi throwing Reed off the stage which sent him crashing through a set of tables onto the floor below.
