Bronson Reed has been officially diagnosed with a torn bicep and will be out of action indefinitely, WWE announced during tonight's Raw. Michael Cole confirmed the injury on commentary, dealing a significant blow to WWE heading into WrestleMania season.
Reed suffered a distal bicep tear — a serious injury in which the bicep tendon detaches from the elbow — after landing awkwardly while attempting to break up a pinfall during a triple-threat Elimination Chamber qualifier. Medical personnel attended to him at ringside and he was unable to continue.

A distal bicep tear almost always requires surgical repair, with a typical recovery timeline of four to six months. That timetable would rule Reed out of WrestleMania 42 in April entirely.
Reed had originally been slated to win the qualifier and earn a spot in the Elimination Chamber this Saturday in Chicago, per WrestleVotes. Those plans were scrapped on the fly, with Jey Uso ultimately winning the bout and the Chamber spot instead.
Injuries Tear Through The Vision
The injury completes a brutal stretch for The Vision, with all three of the faction's original members now sidelined indefinitely.
Seth Rollins (no longer a member) suffered a torn shoulder at Crown Jewel in October 2025. Bron Breakker underwent hernia surgery in February 2026. And now Reed joins them on the shelf.
It's a crushing development for the group's storyline heading into WrestleMania 42 and for Paul Heyman's plans with the faction.
