Bronson Reed remains in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh even after the Crown Jewel has ended on Saturday, November 7 due to an injury. The 38-year-old WWE star was not part of the Crown Jewel’s WWE World Tag Team championship match, however he went on to take part.
Reed interfered in The Vision’s failed attempt to keep the championship belts with Austin Theory and Bron Breakker against Penta and Je’Von Evans. To counter Reed’s interference, Oba Femi joined the match. Reed was injured after Oba powerbombed him off the elevated entrance stage and he fell through several tables set up beside it.
A video showed Oba and Reed running at each other from two ends of the stage and slamming into one another. Oba then picked up Reed from the side and hurled him off the stage. While he celebrated, the clip showed Reed lying among the tables and not moving for a while.

It was Oba’s arrival that changed the trajectory of the match. Evans went on to deliver the OG Cutter on Theory to secure the title victory for himself and Penta.
Reed suffered rib and kidney injuries
According to Fightful, Reed sustained injuries on his rib and kidney. Medical staff have reportedly ruled it unsafe for him to travel. It was further reported that a top international executive from the WWE and their medical team is with Reed in Riyadh as he remains hospitalized. Reed did not travel back with the company or feature on the November 9 episode of Raw. They are ensuring that Reed gets VIP treatments and heals from the injury.
This is Reed’s second injury this year. Earlier he missed over six months of fighting after suffering from a torn bicep on February 23 during an episode of Raw. He required surgery after the injury. He made his return to rejoin The Vision, just recently on September 6 during Sunday Night’s Main Event by attacking Oba, he was later beaten by Oba on October 10 during Money in the Bank.
Reed first joined The Vision in 2025. The group was founded by Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins. Before the group, Reed was a former NXT North American Champion. He was earlier released from the WWE in 2021 but later returned in 2022 when the Triple H took over the company’s creative control.
According to The Takedown, during his time away from the WWE, Reed worked with the indies, TNA and even competed in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling under the name Jonah.
If Reed is sidelined once again, The Vision would lose its muscle with Austin Theory and Bron Breakker having to continue their rivalry with Oba on their own.
