Bronson Reed Denies Reason He Wasn't Booked For WWE Elimination Chamber

Bronson Reed is set to miss out when WWE heads to Australia for Elimination Chamber 2024, with Reed not booked for the show in front of his fellow Australians.

Reed had a shot at competing in the men’s Chamber match, but was defeated by Bobby Lashley in a qualification match. Some online speculated that Reed could be set to miss the show due to his wife being pregnant, but whilst Reed acknowledged they are expecting, he denied this was the reason he wasn’t booked, saying the following on X/Twitter:

“My people, Yes, my wife is pregnant. No, that is not the reason I'm not on #WWEChamber Thank you for your concerns. Sometimes, the stars don't align,” posted Reed, accompanied by a gif of Will Smith berating Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

Reed earlier reposted a video of WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H surveying the Optus Stadium in Perth ahead of Elimination Chamber, with Reed requesting the next WWE show in Australia to be held in the Adelaide Oval.
