Bryan Alvarez says the injury is legitimate and fairly serious

Summary

– Bronson Reed’s Crown Jewel injury is legitimate and described as fairly serious

– Reed remains hospitalized in Saudi Arabia after the event

– Reports say he suffered rib and kidney injuries during the match

Bronson Reed’s injury from Crown Jewel is legitimate and “fairly serious,” according to Bryan Alvarez. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Alvarez said Reed remains in Saudi Arabia and offered no further details about his condition.

Reed did not travel home with the rest of the WWE roster after the November 7 event. Wade Barrett said on the November 9 episode of Raw that Reed remained hospitalized. Fightful Select previously reported that WWE personnel were told he suffered rib and kidney injuries.

Reed was hurt during the World Tag Team Championship match after interfering on behalf of The Vision. Oba Femi appeared and sent Reed off the stage with a toss powerbomb through a table.

WWE medical personnel have remained with Reed in Saudi Arabia. There is no update yet on when he will leave the hospital or return home.

The injury comes after Reed missed significant time in recent years. He fractured his talus bone at Survivor Series in 2024 and underwent surgery. After returning, he tore his distal biceps during Raw in February 2026, requiring another operation and causing him to miss WrestleMania.

Reed returned to WWE in September, but his latest injury has put his momentum on hold again. His recovery timeline has not been announced.
