To say Bronson Reed is WWE’s unstoppable force would be a mammoth understatement.
Time and again, the towering Aussie has bulldozed through opponents with an almost supernatural ease – once crushing fellow Beast Braun Strowman through the roof of a car.

Nothing in Reed’s colossal career could prepare fans for the trauma he endured at Survivor Series 2024, though.
Teaming with the Bloodline in a War Games match, he landed awkwardly from the top rope in delivering a blow to an opponent – or intending to – and he’s now suffered a broken talus bone, while also revealing he will never full heal.
Indeed, Reed’s tale is one of physical agony, grim resolve, and a comeback that defies the odds.
Horror injury saw WWE star break bone ‘completely in half’
He told Raw Recap: “I broke my talus bone completely in half. It separated and went apart. And so that’s a very hard injury to come back from.”
Just uttering those words sounds like the kind of horror that would keep someone sidelined indefinitely. Yet Reed’s career to-date, much like his rehab, has been a tale of sheer perseverance.
He detailed the brutal progression of recovery, saying: “I had my foot up like this for three months. My leg atrophied. I had to build all my muscle back up in this right leg.
“Had to learn to walk again on this right leg, then learn to run, then learn to jump, and then eventually get in a ring and do everything that we do in the ring.”
Every step forward was earned through savage determination – and every inch of progress leaves its mark.
Reed is back in action, aligned with Seth Rollins and once again battering the great and good of WWE from pillar to post each week.
The horrific damage sustained at Survivor Series will, he shared, be with him forever.


‘My new 100 per cent is 75’
“My mobility in this right foot will never be 100 per cent again,” he added. “My new 100 per cent is 75 per cent of normal mobility in your foot, but I get it done, that’s all that matters. I tape it up, I put my boots on, I go out there, I beat people up.”
The tone is stripped of sentimentality – this is a man whose victory lies not only in pins or titles but in the act of simply enduring.
That performance of will is a perfect analogue to the warrior’s journey rival Strowman walked after his own brutal setback at the September 30, 2024 Raw during the Last Monster Standing match against Reed.
In a bout that resembled a car crash in slow motion, Strowman tore his groin two minutes into the gruelling 19-minute showdown – and finished the match regardless.
As he later confirmed on Instagram via Raw Recap: “Tore my Groin 2 minutes into the Last Monster Standing Match … and pained my way through that son of a b****.”
Strowman has since been released by WWE, his battle with Reed up there with one of the most heavy hitting in recent years.


Now, on WWE’s current programming, Reed aligns himself with Rollins, Bron Breakker and Paul Heyman as a brooding group lead by the former, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
For Reed, the scars of Survivor Series are permanent, but they tell a story bigger than any single match. In a wrestling business where bodies break and legacies are often fleeting; he has already proved that survival can be as powerful as victory.
Few would bet on him achieving even bigger and better things in WWE in years to come. Even at 75 per cent, he’ll take some stopping.
