Why Bronson Reed Was Pulled From WWE Elimination Chamber Revealed

WWE’s Elimination Chamber 2024 premium live event took place in Perth, Australia earlier today, airing from the huge Optus Stadium in front of thousands of Australian WWE fans. The likes of Rhea Ripley, Grayson Waller, and Indi Hartwell all got a chance to compete in front of their hometown fans, but one Australian superstar who was notably absent was “Big” Bronson Reed.

There was some speculation that his failure to qualify for the men’s Elimination Chamber match was due to his wife being pregnant, though Reed disputed that on X earlier this week. However, he has followed this up with another post on X, revealing that he was in fact originally booked for Elimination Chamber to compete in his home country of Australia, but plans changed and he was missing the PLE for his wife and family.

Reed revealed that he and wife had their baby early, and that he was supposed to miss the PLE to be there for his family.

“FULL DISCLOSURE:

Originally, I was set to be at #WWEChamber . It would have been an incredible moment. Unfortunately, plans changed. But everything happens for a reason. My wife and I have had our baby early, I was supposed to miss the PLE to make sure I'm here for my family. Thank you for all your support. To all my friends and family who have reached out. To @TripleH for guiding me.

Now I'm not just BIG ... I AM BIG, POPPA!”

Congrats to Bronson Reed on becoming a father!
