Earlier this month, Bronson Reed made his presence felt during the Tag team title bout at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, during his attempt to help The Vision retain their titles, Reed instead suffered an unfortunate fate.
In an attempt to tackle Oba Femi, Reed suffered a scary and brutal drop by Femi onto production equipment. Later, on WWE Monday Night RAW, it was announced that Reed was hospitalized due to Femi's attack. The update was later called out as legitimate by Fightful Select, and WON shared more information about it.
Fightful Select later confirmed that Reed was legitimately hurt and was not on the flight back to the USA. “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,” the report noted. Later, Dave Meltzer of F4WON later also added more to the injury update.

Fightful Select said that Reed was still in Saudi Arabia after suffering the injury during the Nov. 7, 2026 PLE. The report also added that WWE is ensuring Reed receives “VIP treatment.” However, it should also be noted that Reed is one of the few WWE employees still in Saudi Arabia, whereas the rest of the crew almost immediately left the country after the show was over.
