Overview
- Reed sustained a distal biceps tear during an Elimination Chamber qualifier on Raw, with the referee signaling a real injury before the match was finished on the fly.
- Jey Uso won the qualifier and took the Chamber spot after officials improvised the ending, despite reports that Reed had been the planned winner.
- Reed was transported to Birmingham, Alabama, for evaluation and likely surgery, and PWInsider reported he is expected to be out indefinitely.
- Dave Meltzer estimated a six-to-seven month absence if surgery occurs or about four months without surgery, though this remains speculative.
- Reed’s injury has disrupted The Vision’s masked-man storyline and, with Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker already sidelined, leaves Logan Paul with Austin Theory as the only active members while analysts float contingency options and possible replacements.
