Bronson Reed Injury Forces WWE to Change RAW Finish – Bronson Reed’s injury on the February 23 episode of WWE RAW has now been confirmed as far more serious than initially feared, and we can confirm that the planned finish of the Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier was changed on the fly. Reed competed against Jey Uso and Original El Grande Americano for the final Chamber spot, but the match shifted dramatically after a sudden injury mid‑sequence.
Reed dove into the ring to break up a pin attempt and immediately clutched his right arm, signaling that something had gone wrong. He rolled to the outside, where WWE medical personnel checked on him and threw up the X sign. The match continued without him, ending with Jey Uso hitting a frog splash on Americano to secure the final Chamber position.
Jey’s reaction raised immediate questions. Despite earning a major victory, he showed no celebration and appeared visibly frustrated, fueling speculation that the finish had been altered due to Reed’s condition.
WrestlingAttitude.com can now confirm that Bronson Reed was originally booked to win the match and enter the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber. His injury forced WWE to change the outcome in real time.
During the broadcast, Michael Cole announced that Reed suffered a distal biceps tear and will be out of action indefinitely, confirming the severity of the situation. This type of injury typically requires surgery and lengthy rehabilitation, making his WrestleMania season return highly unlikely.
Reed’s injury is the latest blow to a group already hit hard by setbacks. Seth Rollins has been sidelined since suffering a torn rotator cuff last October at Crown Jewel. Earlier this month, Bron Breakker underwent emergency hernia surgery following an angle on RAW after the Royal Rumble, leaving his WrestleMania status uncertain as well.
With multiple key names out and creative plans shifting rapidly, WWE now faces another major adjustment on the road to WrestleMania 42.
