Hall of Famer AJ Styles has praised an absent WWE star’s physique, with rumors swirling ahead of their return from injury.

Bronson Reed hasn’t wrestled since facing Jey Uso and the Original El Grande Americano in an Elimination Chamber qualifier on the February 23 Raw episode.

With Reed suffering a torn bicep during this match, the Vision member has shared a number of photos of his physique and him training amid his in-ring absence.

Speaking on The AJ Styles Show, Styles noted that he feels Reed’s photos show that he’s ready to make his return.

Believing that Reed is in the best shape of his life, the Phenomenal One said:

“To me, he looks like he’s in the best shape he’s ever been. I think that’s awesome, I love that for him.

“Getting the time to freaking dial in who you are, and sometimes it sucks because of injury, but to be able to freaking dial that in is pretty cool. I think it just goes to show that he’s ready to come back to work.”
