Lead Rumor: Bronson Reed injury Just yesterday some scary news made its away around the web: Bronson Reed had to stay in Saudi Arabia because he suffered injuries during his Crown Jewel appearance that would make it unsafe for him to fly. He is still there. The word at that time was that he had rib and kidney injuries, and WWE spared no expense in making sure he’s being well taken care of while he’s there. Now, Dave Meltzer has said he actually suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung. This is so very unfortunate for Reed, who missed a lot of time with a torn biceps but came back looking better than ever. Here’s to hoping he recovers quickly and is back much sooner rather than later. Other rumors floating around On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez made clear The John Cena Classic winner may not even receive a push for it, considering they are simply exhibition matches, but it could simply be used as a way to showcase the next NXT call ups. More from Meltzer: there are no plans for Oba Femi to lose for a very long time. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before but the latest on the Skydance situation and Paramount+ merging with HBO Max is that it’s still unclear what AEW’s future is there, says the Wrestling Observer. During his chat with Chris Van Vliet, Jeff Cobb said there were multiple plans pitched to him in WWE that never ended up happening. Fightful on the MLW roster changes: “MLW is planning a roster refresh, with some contracts not being renewed as the company evaluates viewership data provided by Tubi… The goal is to free up payroll to pursue one or two bigger free agents rather than retain several mid-level names.“ You heard anything?
