Bronson Reed sends cryptic message following heartbreaking update on his WWE future
Ever since Bronson Reed injured himself during the Men's WarGames Match at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 Premium Live Event, there have been concerns about his WWE future. A few days back, it was confirmed that he would have to undergo surgery to recuperate.
At one point during the high-stakes match inside the steel structure, Reed attempted to hit a Tsunami from the top, injuring his ankle in the process. While fans were in awe of what he pulled off, Reed looked visibly hurt for the rest of the match. Soon after the PLE, rumors started floating about the RAW Superstar getting injured, with Triple H confirming it during the post-show press conference.
During the latest episode of SmackDown, WWE released an official statement, revealing that Reed was indefinitely out of action and would require foot surgery. Amid this, the former NXT North American Champion sent a cryptic message on his official X/Twitter handle.

Bill Apter thinks Drew McIntyre's WWE return was fast-tracked because of Bronson Reed
In a recent Q&A session on Sportskeeda's Backstage Pass, legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter explained that WWE might have brought Drew McIntyre back on RAW in light of Bronson Reed's injury.
The 79-year-old veteran added that McIntyre essentially replaced Reed as a top-level heel and that he was not initially slated to return until Saturday Night's Main Event or the 2025 Royal Rumble:
"I haven't heard any updates [on Reed's injury] except that this is the reason, I figure, that Drew McIntyre was brought back so quickly... to be the heel, to replace Bronson Reed. I didn't think Drew was gonna come back until the Royal Rumble or do a run-in at Saturday Night's Main Event."
One can only hope Bronson Reed returns to in-ring action in time for Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, as he is sure to be one of the favorites if he enters the Men's Royal Rumble Match.
