Bronson Reed has been off WWE television since February. Judging by his newest photo, he’s spent the downtime turning himself into a walking warning label.
Reed posted a new gym shot on Sunday, and the caption did all the talking.
A Leaner, Meaner Version
The 37-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a distal bicep tear during a Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match against El Grande Americano and Jey Uso on the February 23 episode of Raw. Six months later, the new photo shows a noticeably leaner, more chiseled version of the big man, and fans immediately took notice, flooding the replies with a mix of disbelief and hype.
There’s still no confirmed timetable for his in-ring return, and nothing suggests he’s been medically cleared. But rehab photos rarely go viral by accident, and this one landed at a moment when WWE could use him more than ever.
The Vision Is Down a Member
Reed’s absence has left The Vision without one of its enforcers, and the group is thin right now with Logan Paul also nursing an injury. A returning Reed, especially one who looks like this, would be an easy way to reload the stable heading into the fall.
It wouldn’t be Reed’s first time making noise on his way back into a program. Back in August, he was the one publicly lobbying Fred Durst for a Limp Bizkit entrance of his own after watching Nick Aldis walk out to Oasis at SummerSlam. Whenever Reed does get back in the ring, he’s clearly not planning on doing it quietly.
