Top WWE Star Admits They’ll Physically Never Be 100% Again

A big-name WWE star is still struggling.

At Survivor Series 2024, Bronson Reed stepped into the ring for one of the biggest matches of his career. Although not usually involved in The Bloodline warfare on SmackDown, Reed came forward to team with Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu inside WarGames.

During the match, with bodies lying everywhere, Reed climbed to the top of the cage, looking to splash Roman Reigns through a table. However, CM Punk saved Reigns, and the Raw star crashed and burned.

Following the show, it was reported that Bronson Reed had broken his ankle and would require surgery. The former North American Champion didn’t return to action until May, when he joined forces with Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker.

Bronson Reed Still Dealing With Impact Of WWE Survivor Series Injury

During an appearance on the Raw Recap, Reed gave fans an insight into the true impact of the injury. The Aussie star revealed that he essentially had to learn to walk again after breaking his talus bone “completely in half.”

“I broke my talus bone completely in half. It separated and went apart. And so that’s a very hard injury to come back from. I had my foot up like this for three months. My leg atrophied. I had to build all my muscle back up in this right leg.

Had to learn to walk again on this right leg, then learn to run, then learn to jump, and then eventually get in a ring and do everything that we do in the ring.”

Reed added that he’s still in a consistent amount of pain, but that it’s something that goes away as soon as the bell rings. The star said that his new 100% is only 75% of “normal mobility.”

“The crazy part about it is, is everyday life, walking around, running, doing those things, it’s painful, but when I get in that ring, I forget it. Wrestling is what brought me back from the injury. But I’m still in pain every day, but I’m working through it.

My mobility in this right foot will never be 100% again. My new 100% is 75% of normal mobility in your foot… but I get it done.”

On the August 18 edition of Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns challenged Bronson Reed to a match at Clash in Paris. At present, just three matches have been announced for the event, which is set to take place on August 31.

This includes, Seth Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Title in a Fatal Four-Way Match, John Cena vs. Logan Paul, and a Donnybrook Match between Rusev and Sheamus.
