Unfortunately, it seems that WWE superstar Bronson Reed won't be gracing our screens on tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw. The former NXT North American Champion was set to compete in the Intercontinental Championship number one contender tournament against Sheamus and Ludwig Kaiser, but it looks like that won't be happening anymore.
Just a few hours before the show was set to air, general manager Adam Pearce broke the news that Reed had tested positive for COVID-19 and would not be able to participate in the match. In a video preview of the night's events, Pearce shared the disappointing development with the WWE Universe, mentioning the recent events such as Bash In Berlin and NXT No Mercy.
Despite the setback, Pearce promised that he was working on finding a replacement for Reed in the match and fans would have to tune in to see who would step into the ring with Sheamus and Kaiser. He also assured viewers that they would have an answer by the end of the night.
Reed, known for his signature move the "Tsunami," has been on a roll with fans lately and his absence will surely be felt. In response to the news, he took to social media to express his determination to come back stronger and continue his path of destruction in WWE.
But before the news of his COVID diagnosis was made public, Reed had simply shared a frustrated "Ugh" on social media. It's clear that he has been on a roll in recent weeks, taking out big names like Seth Rollins and R-Truth, and both fans and Reed himself will be hoping for a speedy recovery and return to the ring.
Tonight's episode of Raw also includes another Triple Threat match in the tournament, featuring Ilja Dragunov, Dragon Lee, and Dominik Mysterio, as well as a battle between the Unholy Union and Damage CTRL to determine who will face new Women's Tag Team Champions, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill.
