Bronson Reed Suffers Torn Bicep
WWE RAW featured Bronson Reed's torn bicep injury among major highlights, alongside Undertaker inducting AJ Styles into the Hall of Fame with a surprise moment leaving gloves in the ring. Other notable moments included Gunther being attacked by Dragon Lee and Chamber match hype building.
- The injury was a distal biceps tear, which occurred on the February 23, 2026, episode of Raw during a triple-threat qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber. The tear happened when Reed dove to break up a pinfall attempt. - Following the injury, Reed was immediately sent from the event in Atlanta to specialists in Birmingham, Alabama, to be evaluated for surgery. - The injury forced WWE to change plans in real-time; reports indicate Reed was scheduled to win the qualifying match. Jey Uso, who was also in the match, was given the victory instead to advance to the Elimination Chamber. - Reed's injury significantly impacts creative plans heading into WWE's biggest event of the year, as he was reportedly factored into major storylines for both the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 42. - Recovery from surgery for a torn bicep can often take from 4 to 6 months before a return to sports activities is possible, putting his participation in major upcoming events in jeopardy. - This setback leaves his stable, The Vision, in a difficult position, as fellow members Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins are also currently out of action with their own legitimate injuries. - On social media, Reed thanked fans for their support and stated he will be back "better than ever, causing destruction like no one else can!"
