Bronson Reed, a WWE competitor known as Auzzilla, underwent surgery after sustaining a distal bicep tear during a recent episode of Monday Night RAW. The injury occurred amid a high-stakes Elimination Chamber qualifying triple threat match against Jey Uso and El Grande Americano, forcing Reed to exit the contest prematurely and prompting WWE to adjust its storyline by awarding the victory to Uso instead of Reed as originally planned.
On Friday, Reed provided an update via Instagram, confirming that the surgical procedure was successful. He expressed cautious optimism about recovering and described this setback as an opportunity for a new beginning. The reaction among wrestling colleagues was swift, with several figures from both WWE and AEW offering messages of support. Among them was former AEW TNT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, who encouraged Reed to appreciate the time with his family during recovery.

Fellow Vision member Logan Paul was quick to respond, sending Reed encouraging remarks on social media. Paul expressed confidence in Reed’s swift recovery, predicting a return within three weeks. Paul further reassured fans that he and wrestler Theory would manage duties on RAW in Reed’s absence to maintain momentum for their group.
Meanwhile, on SmackDown, Paul Heyman engaged WWE General Manager Nick Aldis in arranging a match to fill the vacated Elimination Chamber spot, as Jey Uso had unexpectedly been attacked. Logan Paul competed for the opening against Jacob Fatu, known as the Samoan Werewolf. Despite Fatu appearing close to victory, Drew McIntyre interrupted by striking Fatu with the championship belt, enabling Paul to secure the win with a roll-up maneuver.
