How Bronson Reed's Injury Impacts Multiple WWE Stories (WWE News)
Triple H has to totally rethink his latest masked man mystery after Bronson Reed's WWE Raw pain.
As previously reported, Bronson Reed's injury on the latest episode of Raw has thrown creative plans into disarray heading through Elimination Chamber and potentially WrestleMania 42 as well. Now, WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select says that Triple H will have to rethink his latest mystery man angle involving members of The Vision.
Reed was on course to win a Triple Threat over Jey Uso and El Grande Americano on Monday's flagship before being struck down by a nasty bicep tear that ruled him out of the match. Ultimately, Uso got the nod as WWE improvised, and it's he who'll take part in Saturday's Chamber match with a crack at Drew McIntyre's WWE Title hanging in the balance.
Originally, WWE's format sheets called for both Logan Paul and the unnamed mystery man to get involved in the 3-way come the end. Bronson still would've won it, but there'd be more drama with the dude under the hood and Reed's Vision stablemates.
Due to Reed's injury woes, Fightful Select reports that "the masked man angle will likely undergo heavy rewrites". It's unclear right this second just how much of an impact that'll have on WWE's WrestleMania 42 creative, but concurrent news suggests that the company is in "panic mode" over what's been happening with the Las Vegas weekender's build and marketing as it is.
WrestleVotes on Fightful Select says the masked/hooded man business is heading for "big changes", and they're a direct consequence of Bronson going down with injury. Things aren't exactly going smoothly for Hunter and his shattered creative team during the road to 'Mania 42, are they?!
