Bronson Reed Injury Forces WWE To Change Match Finish And Rewrite Masked Man Angle

TLDR

Bronson Reed suffered a bicep injury during the February 23 episode of WWE Raw in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match, forcing WWE to change the planned outcome and give the victory to Jey Uso instead. According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, Reed was originally scheduled to win the qualifier, and both the masked mystery man and Logan Paul were planned to factor into the match finish before the injury forced WWE to abandon those plans. The injury has disrupted WWE's WrestleMania plans and forced significant changes to the masked man storyline as creative adjusts without Reed.
