Bronson Reed is still on the shelf recovering from a torn triceps, but a Fourth of July social media post has WWE fans paying close attention to his rehabilitation progress. Reed shared a new photo on Twitter celebrating Independence Day while posing with an American flag and wearing merchandise from Steve Austin, giving a shoutout to the Texas Rattlesnake for the gear. “Heard its America’s birthday. Shout out to @steveaustinBSR for his swag. @WWE #america,” Reed wrote.
The post quickly generated discussion, with many fans noting that Reed appeared noticeably leaner and more muscular than he had in recent months. Reed’s absence from WWE programming dates back to February, when he suffered the torn triceps during a Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match on the February 23 episode of Raw against Jey Uso and The Original El Grande Americano.
Reed was reportedly scheduled to win that match before the injury forced a change in plans. Those plans ultimately called for Uso to pick up the victory instead. Reed subsequently underwent successful surgery to repair the damage.
Before being sidelined, Reed had been one of Raw’s more prominent figures as a member of The Vision alongside Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory under the leadership of Paul Heyman. His spot within that faction and the momentum he had built heading into WrestleMania season made the timing of the injury unfortunate. No return timeline has been officially announced, but the physical condition he is showing in his social media posts suggests he is progressing well through his recovery.
