Over the weekend, WWE held its annual Crown Jewel premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the weeks ahead of the show, a great deal of discussion centered around safety, as regular bombings at the local airport amidst the current Middle East conflict have taken more than a dozen lives. It was reported that WWE's talent and crew successfully departed the country prior to the latest strikes, but a select few are still in Saudi Arabia.Fightful Select is reporting that Bronson Reed remains in a Saudi Arabia hospital after suffering an injury during his appearance at Crown Jewel. Reed did not wrestle a match, but did participate in a run-in during The Vision's tag title bout against Je'Von Evans and Penta. His spot involved Oba Femi, who tossed him off the stage. Reed reportedly suffered kidney and rib injuries, evidently making it unsafe for him to travel at this time.The report stated that WWE kept a medical official as well as the company's top international executive in Saudi Arabia along with Reed, in an effort to provide him with "VIP treatment." The report did not identify either official.It is unclear at this time when Reed will be flying back to the United States, nor how long his current injuries might keep him on the shelf. The wrestler has already spent much of 2026 out of action after suffering an injury in February, with his return taking place in early September.The Wrestling Inc. staff wishes Reed a speedy recovery.
