WWE star opens up about body transformation while recovering from injury: 'I'm going to be unstoppable'
Bronson Reed returned at Sunday Night's Main Event after losing nearly 100 pounds, blindsiding Oba Femi to help Bron Breakker and The Vision.
Bronson Reed returned to the WWE ring at Sunday Night’s Main Event to blindside Oba Femi with a chair shot and four tsunamis as he helped Bron Breakker establish dominance.
Reed hadn’t been seen on any WWE programming since he suffered a torn distal biceps injury back in February. He missed out on WrestleMania 42 and SummerSlam but his return sets him up perfectly to have a dominant end of the year before the road to WrestleMania 43 begins.

The last time anyone saw the Australian superstar he was looking big. On Sunday night, Reed came back with a sleeker appearance. He said in a video posted to WWE’s YouTube page he lost somewhere between 90 and 100 pounds as he trained to get back into ring shape.
"By the time I’m back, I’ll probably be around 270, 265, 270 pounds and at my heaviest, when I came back to WWE at the end of 2022, I was 265 pounds," he said. "So, you’re looking at about 90-100 pound difference since then to now. So, in the last three or four years, I feel like if you don’t evolve, you die. Especially in this business, you have to keep moving with the times."

It certainly doesn’t make him any less dangerous as Sunday night and "Monday Night Raw" showed.
Reed said he’s in as good shape as he’s ever been.
"I’ve been wrestling since I was 18, so, I’m so used to being on the road. I’ve been on the sidelines," he said. "I’ve been working harder than most and now that I’m in the best shape ever, I’m going to be unstoppable."
Reed is still aligned with The Vision – a group that includes Breakker, Austin Theory, Logan Paul and Maxxine Dupri. Paul is the last person in the group who is still injured.
Paul suffered a torn triceps injury earlier this year as well. Once the group is back to full health, the rest of the Raw roster will certainly have to be on alert.
