WWE Survivor Series Drama: How Bronson Reed’s High-Flying Stunt Led to Injury Amid CM Punk and Roman Reigns Showdown

The WWE Survivor Series has always been a battleground for monumental clashes and this year was no exception. The event was marked by a significant incident involving Bronson Reed and a much-discussed interaction between CM Punk and Roman Reigns. As fans continue to dissect each moment, the aftermath of the event has ignited debates across the wrestling community.

Reed’s Risky Move Leads to Injury

During a high-stakes moment in the WarGames match, Bronson Reed attempted a daring leap from the top of the cage—an endeavor that unfortunately resulted in a severe ankle injury. The sequence was intended to be a showstopper but ended in an unforeseen mishap that could potentially sideline Reed for an extended period.

WWE Hall of Famer and real-life Bloodline member, Rikishi, commented on the incident, suggesting that Reed’s technique was flawed.

“For me, after watching the repeat slow motion of the video, you can tell that his weight went wrong when he landed,” Rikishi explained on the Off The Top podcast. He further noted that Reed “just kind of jumped from the top and landed on both ankles and both feet,” which directly contributed to the injury.

Rikishi criticized Reed’s preparation for the stunt, hinting that a trial run using a crash pad might have prevented the unfortunate outcome.

“Would have been nice for Bronson to try that before on a crash pad first. That’s a big moment—a huge match. And now, you’re hurt right now, the show goes on man,” he added, emphasizing the gravity of performing such stunts without adequate rehearsal.

The CM Punk and Roman Reigns Dynamic

Amidst the chaos of the match, a moment of alliance between CM Punk and Roman Reigns caught the eye of fans worldwide. Punk, in a surprising twist, saved Reigns from an imminent threat, which not only added depth to their characters but also left fans yearning for more interactions between the two.

However, a fan speculated on the Taking You To School podcast that Punk could have intervened sooner, possibly preventing Reed’s injury. Dr. Tom Prichard responded to this claim by acknowledging the complexity of the situation while also applauding Reed’s courage to execute such a risky maneuver.

Looking Ahead: Potential Feuds and Fan Expectations

As Roman Reigns continues to navigate the intricate Bloodline storyline and CM Punk stirs up a new rivalry with Seth Rollins, the possibility of a direct confrontation between Punk and Reigns seems remote for now. Yet, the electric response from the WWE Universe to their brief cooperation suggests that a future feud between these two icons would not only be inevitable but highly anticipated.

As WWE strategizes the next steps, the focus remains on Reed’s recovery and the potential reshuffling of storylines to accommodate his absence. The incident at Survivor Series serves as a stark reminder of the physical toll professional wrestling exerts on its stars and the fine line they walk between entertainment and risk.
