A WWE star has confirmed that they will miss WrestleMania 41 following a serious injury suffered at Survivor Series in November.
The men’s WarGames match at November’s Survivor Series PLE was one that sadly lived up to its billing as one of WWE’s most dangerous stipulations, as three stars were put on the shelf with injury following the bout.
While Jimmy Uso recently returned to action after suffering a broken toe, both Tonga Loa and Bronson Reed look set for lengthy stints on the sidelines.
Loa’s injury was reported to be a torn bicep, while Reed’s was reported as a broken foot, with the Aussie star undergoing surgery just under a month ago.
With it being reported that Reed would miss WrestleMania 41 as a result of his injury, Reed has taken to Twitter to confirm the news while also clarifying the true extent of his injury.

We continue to wish Bronson Reed a healthy and safe recovery from injury.
