WWE star Bronson Reed has shared an intriguing message amid his absence, ahead of his return from injury.

Bronson Reed hasn’t wrestled since the February 23 Raw episode, where he competed in an Elimination Chamber qualifier against the Original El Grande Americano, and eventual winner Jey Uso.

With Reed suffering a distal bicep tear during this match while breaking up a pin, the Vision member has been out of action for almost four months.

Bronson Reed has now taken to his Instagram story to address his absence. Following the June 12 SmackDown episode, Reed posted:

“Yeah… Y’all really need me back.”

This post was made shortly after Jey Uso won his King of the Ring first-round four way match. Jey Uso was notably the winner of Reed’s final match before his injury.

Bronson Reed’s injury has seen him miss out on big opportunities, with it previously being reported that he was originally planned to win the Elimination Chamber qualifier, meaning that prior to his injury, he would’ve been slated to compete in the WWE Championship #1 contender’s Chamber.

In addition to missing the Elimination Chamber match, Reed’s injury kept him off the card for WrestleMania 42.

Ahead of his return, Reed got fans talking with a photo of his impressive physique, where he teased in the caption that his comeback is “going to be personal.”

WWE would have the opportunity to have Reed hit the ground running upon his eventual return, with his established rival Roman Reigns currently holding the World Heavyweight Championship.

Following Reigns winning the World Heavyweight Title from CM Punk at WrestleMania 42, Bronson Reed in April, Bronson Reed stated that he needed “a few more months” before they could have a rubber match, following Reigns win over Reed at Clash In Paris, and Reed’s win over Reigns at Crown Jewel.

This would indicate that – if Reed’s recovery has been on schedule – he could be preparing for his return, “a few months” on from WrestleMania.
