The WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event saw several Australian stars take the spotlight, with Grayson Waller hosting his show, Indi Hartwell challenging for Tag Team gold, and Rhea Ripley successfully defending her Women's World Championship. However, one rising star was noticeably absent: Bronson Reed.

While Reed had been building momentum in recent weeks, he revealed on social media that his wife's early birth prevented him from attending the Perth event. But his absence wasn't just about missing a homecoming; he was originally slated for a major championship opportunity.



According to Fightful Select, Reed was set to challenge Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the event. This potential clash had been teased earlier when Reed targeted an unnamed champion. However, plans changed due to unforeseen circumstances.

First, Rollins suffered a knee injury in his title defense against Jinder Mahal, rendering him unfit for Elimination Chamber. His upcoming match against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 is now in question.

Second, Reed, despite his willingness to travel despite the impending birth, ultimately stayed with his wife. As Fightful Select notes, "everything ended up working out for the best."

While Reed missed out on a potentially career-defining match, his dedication to his family is admirable. It remains to be seen how WWE will handle his character upon his return, but his talent and potential ensure his future remains bright.
